With the Super Bowl just days away, odds are you have game day grub on the brain. (Personally, we can’t stop dreaming about hot wings, nachos and sliders.)

So, we rounded up seven fun dinners to prepare in their honor this week that boast all the football flair (and flavor) you crave, but with a few refined twists, so you’re not sluggish and bogged down by Wednesday.

Add some onions to the pan for an Asian-inspired spin on cheesesteak filling. Pile it into hoagie rolls and broil them with cheese on top or serve over rice.
Wednesday: Crispy Cauliflower Tacos
These vegetarian handhelds star one football staple everyone can get behind: spicy, creamy homemade queso.
Thursday: Potato-chip ‘fried’ Chicken
Because you definitely have a few bags of chips on deck reserved for your famous French onion dip. Here, they serve as the breading for seven-ingredient, beyond-crispy drumsticks.
Friday: Loaded Baked Potato And Cauliflower Soup
Potato skins (aka baked potatoes covered in cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives) are a game day essential. This one-hour soup scratches the same itch as the app, but only calls for 15 minutes of prep.
Saturday: Everything Chicken Wings
Once you prepare the homemade spice mix (which works wonders on bagels, lox, vegetables and more), you’re a third of the way there. Start with premixed everything bagel seasoning to save time.
Sunday: 15-minute Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Everything’s better bite-size, no? These impossibly simple sammies are only 15 minutes away, thanks to store-bought shredded rotisserie chicken.
