Super Bowl XLIX: 49 recipe ideas

We hope you weren't planning to settle for a bag of chips and a packaged dip while watching Super Bowl XLIX, but if you were, we found 49 recipes that might just change your mind.

Our selections are heavy on the cheese, bacon, and carbs, which means you'll be eating like a linebacker. As it should be.

Vote "Nom" or "Nope" on each of the recipes, which you can also find on our Pinterest page. The Sports Illustrated staff will cook up the top choices for our newsroom Super Bowl party (which, truth be told, is an more of an eat-while-you-work shindig). We'll share photos -- even if it's not pretty. (Spoiler: Ever heard of a Pinterest fail? Yeah, expect those.)

Planning to prepare any of these recipes on game day? Tweet or Instagram your photo using the hashtag #49Recipes and let us know how they tasted.
