Super Bowl food is practically a requirement for Superbowl Sunday. This easy game day recipe for pizza nachos will keep the football fans cheering for more.
Next weekend is the Super Bowl, where even people like myself who know little about sports, and less about football, gather around the television and are suddenly avid fans. Every year, I pick a team, usually based on colors, 'outfits', hairstyles (I like the dudes with big bushy long hair that poofs out of the helmet), or something else as equally meaningless. I root for them, until I get distracted and forget football is even on. Usually, I'm socializing or jamming more game day foods into my pie hole, because the other great part to the Super Bowl, besides the commercials, is the food.
Super Bowl food is glorious, melty, gooey, and so bad for you that you have to eat lettuce with chopsticks for the next month and half. And yet, every year, I over indulge. From dips to wings, bites to bars and cheese, standing in its own power category ruling as the supreme binder of football food overlord. Lot's and lots of cheese.
Our entire menu this week for PtS is based on football foods, tailgating, and partying hard with my inner fat kid.
So let's kick the Super Bowl food off right, with these super quick and all ages approved pizza nachos.
Pizza Nachos

Ingredients:

What a great take on nachos! I am all about the food, too. I really could care less who plays or wins the game.

In my opinion, Super Bowl Sunday is all about the food! These nachos look great. Can't wait to see what else you serve up this week!

Sign me up for a batch. I really am actually a football fan so I watch the game while munching. Unfortunately, I don't care for either team that's playing, but I will probably pull for the Giants (Tom Brady really doesn't need another ring).
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
I am not even planning on watching the Super Bowl (I just got excommunicated from New York), and I want to make these. Yummmmm.
