Chicken wings, seven-layer dip, pigs in a blanket and other classic game day snacks are synonymous with Super Bowl Sunday for good reason.
Whether you're going to a Super Bowl party for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles rematch or just in it for the commercials and snacks, crowd-pleasing appetizers are always a win during the big game.
To help craft a foolproof culinary game plan ahead of kickoff in New Orleans on Feb. 9., "Good Morning America" rounded up some of the top trending Super Bowl recipes around the U.S., according to search data from Google Trends, to add to your football festivities.
While a charcuterie board is always a great grazing option on game day, with easy ways to make it football-themed -- like arranging cured meats into the shape of a football or turning vegetables into a goal post -- there are plenty of additional buzzed-about dishes to make for Super Bowl LIX.
Food blogger Maya Krampf previously shared her simple method for the classic game day appetizer with "GMA" from Wholesome Yum, which takes just five minutes to prep and offers endless options for seasoning and sauces.

Food creator, recipe developer and TV host Jaymee Sire's air fryer bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are the perfect spicy and salty snack for the big game.
Total time: 30 minutes
Yield: 10 large or 20 small jalapeño poppers
Ingredients
5 large jalapeños (or 10 small-to-medium jalapeños)
4 to 6 ounces cream cheese, softened slightly
10 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Juice from 1/2 lime (optional)
Directions
Preheat an air fryer to 375 F.
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Using a small rubber spatula or spoon, fill the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese. If using large jalapeños, wrap each half with one slice of the bacon, tucking in the ends. (If using smaller jalapeños, cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise before wrapping.)
Place the jalapeños cream cheese side up in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly and sprinkle with the cilantro and lime juice, if using, and serve!
Note:
A pointy, serrated grapefruit spoon is great for removing the ribs and seeds from chiles. If using the oven, preheat to 400 F. Bake the wrapped jalapeños in an oven-safe dish for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
Fans in Philadelphia have the ultimate luxury of ordering a fresh cheesesteak from their favorite local spot, but for anyone cheering on the Eagles from afar and craving the City of Brotherly Love's staple sandwich, you can recreate the same taste at home and swap larger hoagie rolls out for slider buns or mini rolls to make a smaller, appetizer-friendly version.
Here's the full recipe for The Original Pat's King of Steaks Philadelphia Cheesesteak that Frankie E. Olivieri previously shared on "GMA3."
Ingredients
For appetizer-size, use slider buns or mini rolls
24 ounces thin-sliced rib-eye or eye-roll steak
6 tablespoons soybean oil
American or provolone cheese (amount is up to you!)
4 crusty Italian rolls
1 large Spanish onion
Optional
Sweet green and red peppers, sauteed in oil
Mushrooms sauteed in oil
Directions
Heat an iron skillet or a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the pan and saute the onions to desired doneness.
Remove the onions. Add the remaining oil and saute the slices of meat quickly on both sides.
Melt the cheese in a double boiler or in the microwave.
Place the meat into the rolls.
Add onions (optional), and pour the cheese on top.
Garnish with hot or fried sweet peppers, mushrooms and ketchup.
