You’ve hosted the neighborhood football party for a few years now, and your guests, no matter the result of the game, always leave satisfied. Your homemade queso dip and cold deli platter make everyone happy, but it’s a new year and the perfect chance to try some new recipes. This list offers unique ideas and variations of classic appetizers that are sure to wow your guests.

Best of all, most of them don’t take any more time than the original—and some are even faster! So, instead of spending game day in the kitchen cooking, you can enjoy more time cheering on your favorite team.

1. Bourbon-Glazed Chicken Drumettes

No football party is complete without chicken wings. Sweeter than traditional Buffalo wings, this recipe removes some of the spice but leaves all the kick. The Bourbon glaze, suitable for all ages, brings the flavors in this dish to life. While chicken wings are a staple to game-day parties, this recipe is sure to leave a lasting impact.

Recipe: Bon Appetit

2. Roasted Tomato Salsa

Sure, you could go to the chip aisle and buy a jar of salsa, but where’s the fun in that? A tasty dip is a must for any football party, and salsa is rightly fail-safe. This dip combines healthy ingredients with homemade taste. Plus, time saver bonus, it’s prepared a week in advance! One less thing to worry about on game day.

Recipe: Serious Eats
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes

3. Crispy Sausage Bread

You can never have enough meat dishes. This recipe requires a bit more prep time, but its short list of ingredients and even shorter cook time more than make up for the extra prep work. Just know that you may need two batches, as the first batch will likely be gone before the tray hits the table.

Recipe: Hardly Housewives
Prep Time: Unspecified Cook Time: 8-10 minutes

4. Pizza Rolls

7. Stuffed Mushrooms

If you want to avoid a long day of marathon cooking, it helps to have plenty of make-ahead dishes. That’s where this recipe comes in. You can prepare it the day of the game, or up to a week in advance. The sausage, cream and parmesan cheese melt together for a savory taste with smooth finish.
