What is game day without dips, wings and other not-quite-main-course nibbles?
Slow-cooker spinach and artichoke dip
Game day foods don’t exactly have a health halo, but that doesn’t mean veggies can’t be part of your spread. A creamy, gooey dip like this one will keep everyone happy through halftime and beyond. Get the slow-cooker spinach and artichoke dip recipe.
Slow-cooker French onion dip
French onion dip is another sure bet, but it’s also a time suck (if you’re going to caramelize the onions properly — which you should be, or what’s the point?).

Crock Pot baked potatoes
A baked potato bar is a perfect way to feed a crowd (and adding toppings turns the potatoes into a bona fide main event), but cooking the spuds in a Crock-Pot is an even easier option than using the oven — and more importantly, it frees that space up for pizza or oven-baked wings. Plus, the naked spuds can be a canvas for practically any and all of the above recipes, including the dips. Get the Crock Pot baked potatoes recipe.
