12 Super Bowl Recipes To Help You Cheer On The 49ers

Sourdough is said to have been invented in San Francisco, so you obviously need some kind of ode to that at your Super Bowl table. While a big loaf of fresh sourdough is always a win, try making this sourdough focaccia instead. You can customize it a bit with the herbs and flavor, and it’s great for dips, soups, or spreads you may be offering.

In a fun little clip from 2022, several San Francisco 49ers players answered the question, “If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?” Tight end George Kittle answered “chicken fried steak and gravy.” I mean, that’s a solid choice. Make your own stick-to-your-ribs chicken fried steak and gravy and see if it turns your Super Bowl party guests into fans like Kittle.

With Fisherman’s Wharf right there, it’s hard not to avoid seafood on a 49ers Super Bowl menu. This cioppino recipe from Damn Delicious makes seafood stew look easy, and oh my is it absolutely loaded with flavor. This is a big dish to make, but don’t be intimidated — the recipe is really pretty simple.

Please just feast your eyes on this dessert. With Ghirardelli being a huge, iconic San Francisco brand, it’s a must that you bring the famous chocolate to your Super Bowl table. These Ghirardelli stuffed brownie sundaes are unreal, and you could even make a little brownie bar with extra toppings if you want people to customize their treat.

In a San Francisco 49ers TikTok, players were asked to name their favorite food and running back Christian McCaffrey wasted no time in answering, “Steak.” While steak can take some time, these gorgeous little steak bites with garlic butter and mustard dipping sauces are perfect for a Super Bowl spread. They’ll take no time to whip up and are a nice little nod to #23.

In the same TikTok video, fullback Kyle Juszczyk shared that pierogis are his favorite food. (We love a wife guy and a pierogi guy.) Jazz up those delectable little dumplings with this recipe for pierogi nachos. Literally nobody will be able to resist.

San Francisco has an incredible amount of Asian restaurants and food in the area, and garlic noodles are one of the city’s specialities. This recipe from Damn Delicious is super easy and will be a huge crowd pleaser at your Super Bowl party.

Who doesn’t love a handful of puppy chow? This fun recipe turns the classic sweet snack into a spirit-filled one with the colors of the 49ers. This will look so great in a big bowl at your Super Bowl snack table (and will keep everyone crunching all night long).

San Francisco’s seafood connection means a big bowl of hot crab dip at your Super Bowl gathering is a must. This recipe is extra creamy and just loaded with so much good flavor, you won’t be able to resist dipping all night. Maybe try some of that sourdough focaccia here.

Mission burritos — full of meat, rice, and more — are famous in San Francisco, but making a whole bunch of burritos is tough for a Super Bowl party. Instead, whip up these Instant Pot burrito bowls so everyone can serve themselves and customize their bowl to their liking.

Known as San Francisco pork chops, this dish can be made in the slow cooker and is an incredibly saucy, tender, and easy meal to have on your Super Bowl table. Serve it with rice or even just alongside some of the other items on this list.

And no 49ers Super Bowl spread could be complete without a little gold nugget or two. Since gold isn’t exactly delicious to eat, these corn nuggets can stand in place of them. They’re the perfect bite-sized snack and are so crispy and delicious, you’ll want to eat the whole bowl.
