Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (February 5 – 11)

Super Bowl LVIII is just around the corner. If you’re like us, you’re psyched for the big day—not necessarily because you love football, but because you love the low-lift, shareable foods that come with it. Instead of waiting until Sunday to get your fix, why not cook seven celebratory dinners to pregame the main event? We’re talking chicken wings, fancy nachos and more—just make sure you have plenty of cold beer to wash ’em down.

What’s a Super Bowl spread without poultry’s partner in crime? This crowd-pleaser cooks to gooey perfection in the Crockpot in two hours flat, so there’s no need to babysit the oven all afternoon. Your guests will be so busy eating that they won’t notice you used store-bought rotisserie chicken in the filling.

Jammy onions, buttery bread and lots of Gruyère—all the fixings of your favorite soup, in sandwich form. Better yet, this indulgent handheld only requires seven ingredients and a single skillet. The toughest step? Waiting for the onions to caramelize without devouring them straight from the pan.

If you’ve never had the immense pleasure of eating chilaquiles, they’re a traditional Mexican breakfast dish of saucy, sautéed loaded nachos. Usually prepared in a skillet, this take on the crowd-pleaser is conveniently cooked on a sheet pan instead. Pile on the runny eggs, red onion, cilantro and cotija to your heart’s content.

Even the low-carb dieters at your table can get in on this sammy-inspired, keto-friendly delight. Instead of a hoagie roll, the fillings are served in broiled Portobello mushroom caps. Dijon mustard, coconut aminos (which is like a soy- and gluten-free soy sauce, BTW) and fish sauce are added to the steak and veggies for maximum savory flavor.

Your kids will go gaga for these seven-ingredient, pepperoni-filled bites, which are as nostalgic as they are easy to prepare. Assemble a double batch so you have an appetizer ready to bake for Sunday’s game. Serve them with Caesar salad or soup and plenty of pizza sauce (or pesto) for dipping.

We all love crispy chicken wings. But frying them? Not so much. Here, the game day essential is baked instead. But don’t fret: You can achieve shatteringly crisp skin and juicy meat minus the mess by dredging the wings in baking powder, which improves the browning process when they hit the oven.
