As the Big Game is coming up, you might be getting eager for football, beers, and some pretty cool commercials to enjoy with your crew of family or friends. Yet, no game and viewing party could ever be complete without an incredible spread of appetizers, right? Snacks just make things better and tastier, and it’s a no-brainer you’d want a variety of options for everyone. (Think salty, savory, sweet.)

If you think you don’t have time to make something from scratch (instead of running out to your local wings spot), we have some good news. Pinterest let us in on the most popular easy appetizers for game day so you don’t have to be in the kitchen TOO much before kick-off. Let’s cook!

1. 3-Ingredient Mini Stuffed Peppers

These mini stuffed peppers are super cheesy and flavorful, and the bright pop of color adds some fun to the buffet. You can use goat cheese and paprika for a creamy filling with some spice, or you can swap for a different cheese, like mozzarella. Plus they’re easy to eat — just pick them up, utensil-free.

The ham and cheese make them really savory and rich in texture, and they even have some protein and fat to boost satiety so you fill up faster. All you need is deli meat, cheese, puff pastry, and a condiment, like mustard.
