From cheesy dips to tender chicken and hearty comfort meals, this list covers Super Bowl dinner ideas you can set and forget while cheering for your team!

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip is the undisputed MVP of game-day snacks. It’s creamy, spicy, cheesy, and disappears faster than I can set out the chips. One bite, and suddenly, I’m guarding the crockpot like it’s my job.

This one’s as easy as it gets:

• Toss shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and cheddar into the slow cooker.
• Let everything melt together into gooey, spicy perfection.
• Stir, scoop, devour.

It stays warm and perfectly dippable all night, which means no sad, cold globs of cheese by halftime. Serve it with celery sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or honestly, just grab a spoon. No judgment here.

Warning: This dip may cause competitive snacking. Proceed with caution.

BBQ Meatballs

BBQ Meatballs are the sneaky snack that disappears before you even realize you’re on your third plate. They’re sticky, smoky, sweet, and basically impossible to stop eating.

The crockpot does all the work:

• Use frozen or homemade meatballs—both work like a charm.
• Cover them in a bold, tangy BBQ sauce.
• Let them slow cook until the sauce is thick, caramelized, and finger-licking good.

Serve them straight from the crockpot with toothpicks for easy snacking, or go all-in and plate them up with mashed potatoes and coleslaw for a full meal. Either way, they’re warm, saucy, and completely irresistible.

Fun fact: The phrase “just one more” does not apply to these meatballs. You’ll be back for more. Every time.

Slow Cooker Chili

Game day without chili? I wouldn’t dare. It’s warm, hearty, and packed with bold, slow-simmered flavor, perfect for football parties, cold nights, or just a serious comfort food craving.

This chili is as hands-off as it gets:

• Toss ground beef, beans, tomatoes, and bold spices into the crockpot.
• Let it simmer into a thick, rich, perfectly seasoned masterpiece.
• Ladle it up and load it with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and green onions.

Want to take it up a notch? Scoop it over cornbread, tortilla chips, or baked potatoes for a meal that’s downright legendary. And if there are leftovers? Even better—chili is one of those magical foods that somehow tastes even better the next day.

Bonus: Chili pairs perfectly with screaming at the TV during the game.

Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip is the one dip that always causes a feeding frenzy. It’s creamy, cheesy, garlicky, and somehow makes eating spinach feel like a win.

The crockpot makes it completely foolproof:

• Dump in chopped spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan.
• Let it melt into bubbly, gooey perfection.
• Try not to eat it straight from the crockpot (or do—I won’t judge).

Serve it up with toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, or crunchy veggies and watch it disappear. This dip stays warm and scoopable all night, which is critical, because once people start dipping, they don’t stop.

It’s like magic—but in dip form.

Pulled Pork Sliders

Pulled pork sliders might be small, but they pack a big punch. Slow-cooked pork soaks up smoky BBQ sauce, then piles onto soft, buttery slider buns. The result? Juicy, tender, and dangerously easy to eat too many of.

This one’s a set-it-and-forget-it kind of dish:

• Season the pork and let it slow cook until it falls apart on its own.
• Toss it in extra BBQ sauce—because why not?
• Pile it onto slider buns and serve warm.

Want to level up? Top each slider with crisp coleslaw for a crunch that just works, or keep it classic with just the pork. Either way, these will be gone before you know it—seriously, I always think I made enough. I never do.

Pro tip: Double the batch. Then act surprised when there are no leftovers.

Crockpot Taco Dip

Crockpot Taco Dip is cheesy, beefy, and absolutely dangerous—once you start, good luck stopping. It’s bold, melty, and packed with taco flavor, making it the dip people stand next to, pretending to chat while actually just inhaling chips.

It’s ridiculously easy:

• Brown seasoned ground beef.
• Mix in cream cheese, cheddar, and salsa.
• Let the crockpot do its thing until everything melts together into gooey perfection.

Serve it with tortilla chips, baguette slices, or honestly, just a spoon (not judging). Want to get fancy? Top it with jalapeños, olives, or green onions for a little extra kick.

It stays warm all game long, which is perfect because this dip never lasts past halftime.

Warning: This dip may cause competitive snacking. Keep your elbows up.

Honey Garlic Little Smokies

These bite-sized sausages are sweet, savory, and completely addictive. A sticky honey garlic glaze coats every inch, making them caramelized, smoky, and absolutely irresistible.

Here’s how it goes down:

• Toss cocktail sausages into the crockpot.
• Cover them in honey, garlic, soy sauce, and butter.
• Let them simmer until they’re warm, glazed, and dangerously good.

Serve them straight from the crockpot with toothpicks for easy grabbing, or sprinkle on sesame seeds and fresh parsley if you want to pretend you put in extra effort.

These stay warm all night, which is great because everyone keeps grabbing more every time they pass by.

I tell myself I’ll have just one. I’m lying to myself.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This soup is warm, creamy, and loaded with everything good in life—cheese, bacon, potatoes. What’s not to love? It’s basically a baked potato in a bowl, but somehow even better.

It’s beyond easy:

• Toss potatoes, broth, and seasoning into the crockpot.
• Let them cook until they’re soft and perfect, then mash them up.
• Stir in cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and cream until it’s thick, velvety, and impossible to resist.

Want to make it fun? Set up a toppings bar with extra bacon, green onions, shredded cheddar, and sour cream, and let everyone build their dream bowl. The crockpot keeps it warm and ready for second (or third) helpings.

This soup is basically a hug in a bowl, and honestly, who doesn’t need that?

Crockpot Chicken Wings

Chicken wings on game day? Non-negotiable. And when the crockpot does all the work? Even better. These wings cook low and slow, soaking up every bit of bold, tangy flavor from Buffalo, honey BBQ, garlic parmesan, or whatever sauce you’re craving.

It’s foolproof:

• Toss the wings in the crockpot with your favorite sauce.
• Let them slow cook until they’re fall-off-the-bone tender.
• Want crispy skin? Pop them under the broiler for a few minutes.

Serve them straight from the crockpot or finish them off for that golden, sticky goodness. Either way, they’re best with ranch or blue cheese, celery, and carrots—because dunking is part of the experience.

I tell myself I’ll eat a “reasonable” amount. Then I black out, and they’re gone.

Bonus: If you suddenly hear a lot of cheering, check if it’s for the game… or the wings. Could go either way.

Chocolate Lava Cake

This crockpot chocolate lava cake is what happens when cake and hot fudge decide to be best friends. It’s rich, fudgy, and has a molten center that should probably be illegal.

Couldn’t be easier:

• Mix up a simple chocolate cake batter.
• Pour it into the crockpot and layer melted chocolate on top.
• Let it slow cook into warm, gooey perfection.

Scoop it straight from the crockpot into a bowl and top with vanilla ice cream for that hot-and-cold magic. Feeling fancy? A dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel takes it over the top.

Even after wings, dips, and snacks, there’s always room for this. Trust me.

If anyone says they’re too full for dessert, they’re lying. Give them a spoon and watch what happens.

Game Day Done Right

Game day food shouldn’t be stressful. These slow cooker recipes mean I can actually enjoy the game instead of running around the kitchen. Wings, dips, sliders, and this chocolate masterpiece? Easy wins.

Now the real question—which one are you making first?

FAQ

What are 5 appetizers that people eat on the Super Bowl?

Super Bowl parties are all about finger foods and easy-to-grab snacks. Here are five classics that always make the lineup:

1. Buffalo Chicken Dip – Spicy, creamy, cheesy, and absolutely addicting with tortilla chips or celery.
2. Chicken Wings – Whether Buffalo, BBQ, or garlic parmesan, wings are a must. Bonus points if there’s ranch or blue cheese for dipping.
3. Loaded Nachos – Piled high with cheese, jalapeños, ground beef, sour cream, and guac. No plate? No problem—just grab and go.
4. Spinach Artichoke Dip – Warm, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Serve with toasted baguettes or tortilla chips.
5. Sliders – Mini sandwiches like pulled pork, cheeseburgers, or meatball sliders. Small but mighty.

Honorable mentions: Pigs in a blanket, jalapeño poppers, and mozzarella sticks because more cheese is always a good idea.

What not to put in a slow cooker?

Some foods just don’t play well with slow cookers. Here are a few things to keep out:

• Dairy – Milk, cream, and cheese can curdle if cooked too long. Add them at the end.
• Pasta – It turns into mush unless added just before serving.
• Seafood – Most fish and shellfish cook too fast and get rubbery.
• Delicate veggies – Zucchini, bell peppers, and spinach can turn into mush unless added toward the end.
• Rice – It absorbs too much liquid and can get overcooked. Cook it separately.

Basically, anything that needs a quick cook time or a crispy texture probably isn’t made for slow cooking.

What are good foods for a Super Bowl party?

The best Super Bowl foods are easy to eat, shareable, and packed with flavor. A winning lineup includes:

• Dips – Buffalo chicken, queso, guacamole, spinach artichoke.
• Wings – Buffalo, BBQ, garlic parmesan—you can’t go wrong.
• Sliders – Pulled pork, cheeseburgers, or anything bite-sized.
• Chili – Easy to keep warm in a crockpot, and always a hit.
• Loaded Nachos – A must-have for snacking between plays.
• Little Smokies – Simmered in BBQ sauce or honey garlic glaze.
• Desserts – Brownies, cookies, or a crockpot lava cake for a sweet finish.

Basically, if it’s cheesy, saucy, or bite-sized, it belongs on the table.

What is the difference between a slow cooker and a crockpot?

A Crockpot is a brand of slow cooker, but not all slow cookers are Crockpots. It’s like how all tissues aren’t Kleenex, but we still call them that.

• Crockpots have ceramic or stoneware pots that sit inside a heating base, which provides even heat all around.
• Slow cookers can have metal pots and heat from the bottom, which may need more stirring to prevent burning.

At the end of the day, they both do the same thing—cook food low and slow. The only real question is, what’s going in next?
