Super Bowl LVII is just days away. We don’t know about you, but we’re psyched for the big game—not because we love football, but because we love the low-lift, shareable foods that come with it. Instead of waiting all week to get our fix, we’re cooking seven celebratory dinners leading up to the main event. We’re talking chicken wings, nachos and more; just make sure you have plenty of cold beer to wash ’em down.
Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (February 6 – 12)

Chipotle hot sauce
Pantry Ingredients: Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, freshly ground black pepper, all-purpose flour, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, vegetable oil, chili powder, garlic powder, hot sauce, baking soda, everything bagel seasoning, mayonnaise, baking powder, honey, Dijon mustard
Monday: Buffalo Tuna Melt
Buffalo chicken is delicious but expected. Buffalo tuna, on the other hand, will surprise your fam and still get them in the spirit. Ready in 15 minutes flat, this souped-up grilled cheese is full of protein to keep you satisfied.
Tuesday: Puff Pastry Pizza Bundles
Your kids will be thrilled for these seven-ingredient, pepperoni-filled bites, which are as easy to prepare as they are nostalgic. Serve them with Caesar salad or soup and plenty of pizza sauce for dipping.
Wednesday: Loaded Baked Potato and Cauliflower Soup
Potato skins are a Super Bowl must—but have you ever had them in soup form? Skip the bacon (add liquid smoke to compensate, if desired) and substitute vegetable broth for chicken stock to make this cozy dish vegetarian.
Thursday: Sheet Pan Chilaquiles
Friday: Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket with Cheater’s Aioli
These are *so* much more impressive than the frozen kind. The lemony, garlicky dip elevates them even further, but we won’t judge you for serving them with honey mustard and ketchup if you want.
Saturday: Baked Chicken Wings with Chipotle Hot Honey
Everyone loves crispy chicken wings. But frying them? Not so much. With this simple recipe, you can achieve shatteringly crisp skin and juicy meat minus the mess. (The trick is dredging the wings in baking powder to kickstart the browning process.)
Sunday: The Ultimate Party Sub
