Super Bowl weekend is upon us, and while some may have had their party menus planned out for days now, judging from the jam-packed supermarkets alone, a majority of people probably save the cooking until last minute. With so much going on during the week, sometimes you have to wait until the day of the big game to do all your cooking, but that doesn't mean you can't whip up some incredibly delicious snacks just moments before your guests arrive.
Not only do the chefs over at Food Network come up with some of the best recipes, but a lot of them are known for creating recipes that are flavorful while still being quick and easy to make. Here are some of the best gameday eats that you can make this Sunday, and the best part is, they can all be prepped, cooked and ready to go in less than 30 minutes!
Triple Pork Sliders
Patrick and Gina Neely came up with these easy sliders that are perfect for any gameday. They're topped with pork, chorizo, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, bacon and a special smoked paprika mayo and only require about eight minutes of cooking. Click here for recipe.
Pizza Pockets
Anything pizza-related is bound to be a huge hit, and these look a lot more complicated than they actually are. Chef Giada De Laurentiis created this recipe as a healthier alternative to calzones and pizza, as they're made with turkey sausage, arugula and cream cheese and baked instead of fried.

Lucky 7 Layer Dip
Rachael Ray has an entire show based on 30-minute meals, and this is one of her best recipes for gameday because it's incredible to think that something with so much flavor can be ready in just 15 minutes. All you have to do is pair it with some chips, and you have the perfect snack to keep your guests satisfied. Click here for recipe.
Spicy Guacamole With Mango
Pretty much any chip-and-dip recipe is the perfect solution to a quick and easy snack, but this guacamole isn't your typical guac, as it's loaded with extra mango and jalapenos for a sweet and spicy flavor. Click here for recipe.
Jalapeno Hushpuppies
These can also be fried and ready in about a half hour. Chef Trisha Yearwood adds diced jalapenos to the batter to give them an extra kick. Click here for recipe.
Nachos
These are a staple on Super Bowl Sunday not only because they're delicious no matter how you make them, but also because they can be ready to go in a matter of no time. This recipe takes about a half hour because they're loaded with extra cheese, so in the ends it's worth it. Click here for recipe.
Oven Fried Onion Rings
Not that this is really the day to watch what you eat, but chef Jeff Mauro created this as a healthier version of the typically fried onion ring. They're panko-coated and perfectly crispy without being greasy. Click here for recipe.
Big Game Pizza Ball
I'll say it again, anything pizza-related will always be a hit, and this masterpiece can be ready to go in just 15 minutes and it requires absolutely no cooking. Click here for recipe.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo wings can take a while to make, but as one of the most popular Super Bowl foods, this recipe allows you to still enjoy all the spicy and tasty flavors without going through the whole process of making wings. Shredded chicken, hot sauce, celery and cream cheese all mix together perfectly in this hot, bubbly dip. Click here for recipe.

Queso Dip
The best part about this cheesy dip is you can keep it in a slow cooker so it stays melted and ready for dipping all day long. You can dress this up however you please with different toppings. Click here for recipe.
