Big Game Day Dishes
What are you doing this Big Game weekend?
If you’re gathering with friends and family to watch the biggest football event of the year, I hope you'll also be enjoying some of your favorite Game Day dishes! During a recent video shoot at my Bedford, New York farm, I prepared some of our well-loved meals and snacks - Oven Baked Wings Three Ways from MarthaStewart.com - Sriracha Buffalo, Sweet 'n Sour Orange, and Maple-Dijon. We also had Four Cheese Macaroni & Cheese from Martha Stewart Kitchen, Chili Con Carne with Skillet Cornbread from Martha & Marley Spoon, and four delectable cookies from my line at Goldbelly. These treats are great on Game Day and any time the craving hits.
Enjoy these photos.

- This weekend is the 56th Super Bowl. The Big Game is the annual playoff championship game of the National Football League. It has been the last game of every NFL season since 1966. And beginning this year, the game will be played on the second Sunday in February. We’re posting game-day food ideas all weekend long on my TikTok page @MarthaStewart, so be sure to check them out.
-
- This is my Martha Stewart Kitchen Four Cheese Macaroni & Cheese. It comes with an indulgent combination of sharp cheddar, fontina, parmesan, and gruyere cheeses with buttery panko breadcrumbs. Click here for a listing of stores carrying my Collection of delicious frozen foods.
-
- One can place the macaroni and cheese in a large baking dish, or in oven-safe ramekins like these. I topped them with bacon, tomatoes, and grated white cheddar cheese.
-
- Lastly, I added a sprinkling of the panko breadcrumbs before putting them into a pre-heated 400-degree oven.
-
- Bake for 30 to 33 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden brown on top. These look so delicious.
-
- This is our Game Day Chili con Carne with Skillet Cornbread from Martha & Marley Spoon. This comes with flour, unsweetened cornbread mix, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, taco seasoning, ground beef, fresh cilantro, garlic, and a large red onion. Just add your own wet ingredients salt and pepper. It’s so easy, and one of our favorite comfort foods for cold winter days. Martha & Marley Spoon continues to be a great meal-kit delivery service that’s full of delicious recipes and helpful cooking tips.
-
- While the chili is cooking, make the cornbread in a cast iron skillet and bake until golden and risen.
-
- Our chili is cooked in my white Martha Stewart Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven from Martha.com. This pot is available in 3qt. and 5qt. sizes.
-
- Another idea is to serve it with a toppings bar – include avocado, diced tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, onion, jalapeno peppers, and of course, tortilla chips.
-
- And here’s the finished bowl – mine with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, chips, and a piece of cornbread – ready to eat while still piping hot.
-
- I also cooked about three pounds of chicken in the oven for our wings recipes. As a general rule, when making wings, allot for about six wings per person, and up to 12 per person if it’s a main dish.
-
- The important thing is to be sure to soak and coat the wings very well. I placed one pound of wings in a large glass bowl of sauce and tossed them until they were fully coated.
-
- This is the maple-dijon sauce. Once these are thoroughly tossed, bake them in the oven until the glaze has thickened.
-
- If you’re making all three types of chicken wings, be sure to plate them in big platters.
-
- Here they are – these Maple-Dijon Chicken Wings are so easy to make. All you need are dijon mustard, maple syrup, and chicken.
-
- I also made Sriracha-Buffalo Chicken Wings. We made these classic hot wings even better with the addition of sriracha, a Thai-style hot sauce. Serve them with lots of crumbled blue cheese and celery sticks.
-
- These Sweet-and-Sour Orange Chicken Wings recipe uses sherry vinegar for a wonderful kick of flavor. Garnish the platter with citrus slices.
-
- This year, I am happy to partner with Goldbelly, the curated online marketplace for regional and artisanal foods crafted by local food purveyors throughout the United States. Order some of my favorite pastries including rich butter croissants, apricot danishes, and addictively delicious cookies. They come in these charming boxes – give as a host or hostess gift, or buy for yourself.
-
- My Collection of cookies includes my daughter Alexis’ Chocolate Chip, Extraordinary Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Pecan, and Kitchen Sink cookies, which are loaded with rolled oats, coconut, dried apricots and cherries, dark chocolate, and toasted pecans… everything but the kitchen sink! And these cookies are so big, you’ll be able to nibble on one all day long.
-
- And don’t forget – for those who need their cookies with milk, serve it in fun glass bottles. Enjoy whatever you serve for your Big Game party. And be sure to watch the annual Puppy Bowl. I’ll be coaching alongside my friend, Snoop Dogg, Sunday at 2pm ET on Animal Planet and Discovery Plus.
