Looking for some awesome and EASY Super Bowl recipes for your crockpot? Look no further!
I think I’m more looking forward to hanging out with friends and eating some awesome food than I am the actual game itself.
This is kind of how I view the Super Bowl. Whether you’re into the game or not, just pick a team, root for them (whether you’re a true fan of not), and eat good food.
Someone will always bring the vegetable platter, but you should leave that job to someone else.
Whether you are hosting or attending someone else’s party, you’re gonna be the one getting all of the compliments on how amazing your dish was!
But I don’t want to be cooking all day, and I’m sure you don’t either. These Super Bowl Crockpot recipes will help – and they’re all AWESOME.
The other great thing about using your crockpot is that your food will stay nice and hot as your guests devour it over the course of a few hours (or minutes in some cases)!

Best Super Bowl Recipes For The Next Big Game
1. Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Chicken
No get-together would be complete without an awesome spinach and artichoke dip recipe, right? Look no further than this hearty snack or dinner!
This recipe is as easy as they come, and it only takes about 2 hours for it to melt down and get smooth and gooey – just like it should.
It’s thick and creamy from the sour cream and cheese, with a little bit of greens to give us some added nutrition.
2. Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Every Super Bowl Sunday needs a good chili, right? Depending on how large the party is, a few guests might have brought chili.
And you need yours to rise above the rest, right? This white chicken chili does just that with a whole new taste your football fans will love!
Put this out in the crock pot with sour cream, cream cheese, shredded cheese, corn chips, tortilla chips, and more for your guests.
3. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Simply put a big hunk of pork in the crockpot, add a bunch of spices, and turn it on.
For a party, I’d suggest bringing some small buns so people can make little slider-type pulled pork sandwiches.
Then put out BBQ sauce, pickles, chips, and other random toppings- and yes, I have cousins who swear by chips on all their sandwiches!
4. Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip
I don’t know who invented buffalo chicken wing dip, but they deserve some kind of prestigiouss cooking award for sure.
I love buffalo chicken wings, but prefer to skip the messy eating and leftover bones. So swap buffalo chicken wings for this delicious dip, and you won’t run out of napkins!
The hot sauce balances with the cream cheese with tortilla chips that add crunch factor, it all makes this an irresistible, slightly spicy dip that has people coming back for seconds and more.
There’s always a couple of people curiously hanging out by the chicken wing dip, trying to hide the fact that they are devouring it by the plateful. You better grab some and put it on your plate quickly!
5. Easy Savory Turkey Meatballs
I love meatballs, and I love that people can eat these as they please and serve them in so many ways.
Make them like hors d’oeuvres and use toothpicks or set out pasta, rice, bread, and more to let them make their own meatball meals.
6. ‘Food Truck’ Style Cuban Beef Sandwiches
I’ll start with a personal favorite – these ‘Food Truck’ Style Cuban Beef Sandwiches will probably be gone by half-time.
A chuck roast seasoned with cumin, oregano, lime juice, and orange juice – yeah, they’re good and quick with plenty of flavor.
Serve with some mayo and sliced avocado. Some of my family even adds a dollop of sour cream, sauteed onions, and peppers to give the sandwich a creamy and crunch feel.
7. Slow Cooker Pizza
Yes- Slow Cooker pizza! The slow cooker continues to surprise and delight me!
Ok, so it’s not your typical pizza with a crust and everything, but all the flavors are there, and it’s amazing.
There are layers of pasta, ground beef, tons of gooey mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. What’s not to like?
8. Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Dip
I love some jalapeno poppers. So why not make it into a dip? And add some bacon for good measure? Now we’re talkin’.
This recipe is great, too, because it’s super easy- just combine the ingredients and put your slow cooker on warm so that it’s nice and melty!
9. Slow Cooker White Queso
Of course, an awesome queso dip recipe has to be in this collection, right?
You’re planning on digging in on some queso for Sunday, right? So here is an easy, delicious queso recipe that goes right in the slow cooker!
10. Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
Ok – so this one isn’t prepared in a crockpot- but it’s still pretty easy and can create a cheesy appetizer or meal for any occasion!
The melty cheese sauce is infused with hot sauce, chunks of chicken are mixed in, and crumbles blue cheese is melted on top. This is SO good.
You can control the level of spice by what type of hot sauce you use. My husband likes it hot, so he also uses habanero cheddar in his. He’s crazy.
11. Crock Pot French Onion Soup
Soup may not seem like the usual fare for a party, but I’m a huge fan of food that warms you up and fills you up, so soup is a must!
French onion soup usually takes a lot of time, but making it in the crock pot is easy.
But to make it like the classic style, you pop them into ramekins (or any oven-safe dish), add some bread, top with cheese, and broil for about 2 minutes.

I attempted to make the Crockpot Pulled Pork. What a waste of money! I followed your directions; I turned it on at 10am and at 6:30 I checked on it; it did not fall apart. I decided to turn up the heat to high since my crockpot only has low and high – it is now 8pm and still not falling apart. What’s the deal here? I wasted money on a beautiful piece of meat and came up with nothing!
Do you have a larger crockpot than mine? What size crockpot do you have? Also, how hot did you cook it? We make this all the time per the directions and haven’t had any issues.
