Believe it or not, Super Bowl Sunday is the third largest day for food consumption in the United States. According to the National Football League, this day falls behind only Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Sheer numbers tell the story.
Last year, nearly 130 million people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl, proving the event's near universal appeal. The focus on television lends an easy, casual party theme, in keeping with a style of entertaining that appeals to many of today's busy families. Preparing a hearty buffet for the big Super Bowl event this year - January 25 will score points with guests without banishing hosts to the sidelines. Either way, the hearty rich chowder with its big pieces of potatoes and large, succulent clams will provide a delicious way to take the chill out of a cold January day. Beef Taco Bake is a one-dish version of the ever popular taco.
