Let your slow cooker handle the food on game day so you won’t miss a minute of the action on the field. Consider these top picks your football party MVPs.
1. Slow-Cooker Barbecue Ribs
These finger-lickin’ ribs get a brief bake before they go in the crock pot to cook off a lot of the fat. Winning Play: “After cooking in the crockpot I put the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and covered the ribs in more BBQ sauce before putting them in a 425° oven for 6-7 minutes on each side, making sure to cover each side with BBQ sauce so it would have that nice glaze.” — Meganruss

2. Buffalo Chicken Dip

4. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Set out hot tortillas and bowls of pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream, and you’ve got a DIY taco bar. Winning Play: Reviewer LucyDelRey suggests you spread out the pork on a rimmed baking sheet with some of the juice from the pot, and bake at 400° F for 15 to 20 minutes to give the carnitas a crisp edge that usually comes from frying.

7. Emily’s Chipotle Chili
Meaty, thick, and hearty. You can substitute any sausages you like to go with the smokey chipotle peppers, and some reviewers even doubled up on the peppers because that’s how they roll. Winning Play: Balance out the spice with sweet cornbread on the side.
