I can’t really explain it, but whenever I sit down to watch football, I get a sudden craving for foods loaded with meat. Is that a studly, handsome quarterback with bulging arm muscles making a heroic play? Pass the hot wings. Did those players just fall on top of each other and tussle around on the field? Give me a cocktail wiener, stat.
Why I’m suddenly filled with a lust for flesh any time I see shoulder pads is a mystery to me, but let’s just say that I don’t go into game day without something meaty on the table. On that note, here are 25 Super Bowl recipes that will satisfy everyone’s inner carnivore from kickoff to halftime and on through to the after-show.

2. Beer-Braised Bratwursts with Onion
