Updated February 2017 with new apps added to the list.
It's Super Bowl time, folks! It's time once again for professional football's biggest event, with Super Bowl LI featuring a matchup between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. But the real question of the game is this: what are you going to eat at your Super Bowl party?
Sure, you could settle for pizza or wings, but you could try to go for something different this year, and actually cook something for your Super Bowl party. But what should you make? Well, the apps I've collected here will help you find just the right recipes for the big game.

What if it all goes wrong?
Look, things happen. Even the best-laid culinary plans go awry, and if they do, you'll be facing a group of starving football fans with nothing to offer them. If that happens, might I suggest you order takeout? With apps like Postmates, Grubhub, and DoorDash, you can order takeout from your favorite restaurants, even if they don't normally offer it.
