Super Bowl BBQ Ideas: Texas Brisket and Beyond

Super Bowl Parties have occurred every year since the first Super Bowl was launched in 1967. Whether you’re a football fan or simply love an excuse to eat, drink, and celebrate, a Super Bowl Party is a great way to watch the game and have fun, and 2026 is no exception.

Though we love a good football game at Goode & Co. Shop, we get just as excited about the food as we do about what’s happening on the field. We believe Super Bowl Sunday should be about the Texas BBQ. From our ribs and brisket to our smoked turkey breast, this is the best time of year to order from us and let our easy BBQ ideas take over so you can enjoy the game.

So, if you’ve sorted out your guest list and decided this year you’re going to host, read on to learn how we can help you serve the best Super Bowl party food in Houston.

Planning your Super Bowl Party Menu

While your neighbors may be firing up their grill to cook during the game, you’ve found the ultimate solution to serving a good BBQ without constantly checking on your food. These meals come fully cooked and ready to enjoy; all you need to do is reheat them, allowing you to focus on your guests and the excitement of the game.

If you’re planning a gathering of 18-20 people, why not invest in The Pride of Sam Houston, which includes a whole brisket, ribs, and sausage, and for dessert, one of our famous Brazos Bottom Pecan Pies? 

If someone else is bringing their favorite dessert to the party, order The Davy Crockett. It has the same selection as Sam Houston, except for the pecan pie.  

If you’re more of a ribs fan, why not opt for slow-smoked BBQ Ribs? This sumptuous package serves 4-6 people and includes our homemade jalapeno bread and 2 bottles of our original Goode & Co. BBQ sauce.

Perfect BBQ Side Dishes

Some would argue that it shouldn’t all be about the meat for your Super Bowl Party. That’s why we’re suggesting barbecue side dishes, including:

Corn Salad

We’re not talking about the yellow corn that grows in the fields; we’re talking about the corn chip, Fritos! 

If you were under the impression that Fritos were created only for dipping, you’re wrong. Why not make a dip that calls for corn chips in the corn salad? It combines a little crunch and cream, and because it only takes 15 minutes to make, it’s the perfect side “salad” to serve alongside our sausage sampler.

Potatoes 

Whether mashed, baked, scalloped, or roasted, potatoes are a fail-safe side dish for any Super Bowl Party menu. Sauté or marinate your potatoes in one of our famous Goode & Co. BBQ sauces from our pantry, such as Heavy Garlic BBQ Sauce or Jalapeno Garlic BBQ Sauce. Whether you choose russet, sweet, or Yukon Gold potatoes, this easy, versatile BBQ side dish pairs well, especially with our Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket. 

If you’re fixing for something cold to accompany your brisket instead of something hot, why not try making a potato salad? Add bacon, blue cheese, green onions, radishes, carrots, and even sour cream to your salad.  

Grilled Vegetables

Instead of boiling or microwaving your vegetables, why not grill them? A great Super Bowl Party idea is to slice carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onion, coat them in olive oil, sprinkle them with your favorite spice or flavoring, and grill them on the BBQ for 30 minutes to 1 hour. At Goode & Co, we always look for creative ways to use our BBQ rubs, including our brisket, mesquite, and ribs. Why not sprinkle a bit of it on your vegetables before, during, and after grilling? This will make your guests tackle each other for more. 

Other creative ways to use our rubs include seasoning your Super Bowl Party popcorn, beef jerky, and even potato chips.

Halftime Show-Stopping BBQ Desserts

If you’ve had too many of our famous Brazos Bottom Pecan Pies this past holiday season, why not try a few lighter BBQ desserts? Maybe a plate of our assorted pralines, available in chewy and assorted flavors.  

For those at your Super Bowl Party who prefer savory over sweet, our salty snacks are the perfect choice—even for dessert. Then, order a few bags of our roasted salted pecans, honey-glazed pecans, or mesquite-flavored beef jerky.   These flavorful options will leave everyone satisfied without overwhelming their taste buds.
