Crockpot Party Food Appetizers for a Crowd? Yes, Please!

If you’ve been this blog at all, you know that my favorite words for anything home-related are ‘cheap’ and ‘easy.’ I’m always looking for a shortcut, a hack, a frugal alternative.

I’m a big fan of crockpot recipes in general, and I love the idea of bringing or serving appetizers at a party or gathering,  but if I can combine the two? Jackpot, y’all.

To help you on your way, I’ve rounded up all kinds of slow cooker recipes that would be perfect to serve as appetizers or finger foods at a party. Generally, even when you transport it or serve it, it’s a ‘set-it-and-forget-it’, which is ideal for everyone – host and guests.

As you go through the list, you’ll see that these easy appetizers are somewhat categorized.

For instance, there’s a dip category, where’ll you’ll find different varieties of cheesy dips and the like. You’ll see a meatball category, where there are several different kinds of meatballs you can make.

Each crockpot recipe, whether it’s its own category or one in a series is a delicious option.

Some might even fall in the ‘dinner’ category and can easily be served as a main course rather than in the appetizer category, but they are still suitable to serve as a small portion type snack at a potluck dinner or party.

I’ve also included some sweet options that are borderline desserts as well as some slow cooker drinks, which is also a wonderful addition.

Generally, they are super-easy recipes but are special and will impress, for sure!

Whether you’re hosting a party for the big game or having all your friends over for a Super Bowl Party, or something a little fancier like a dinner party or Christmas party, these appetizers will be a huge hit and devoured.

Best Crockpots for Party Foods

If you’re either hosting a party and serving Crockpot foods or attending a party and bringing a Crockpot dish, there are certain crockpots are better than others.

Since there will be other dishes served, it’s fine to make a smaller amount, which makes sense to make in a smaller Crockpot. This size is easier to transport as well.

For a party, a 1.5 quart slow cooker or just a little bigger with a 2 quart slow cooker will do the trick!

If you’re hosing the party or have more than one Crockpot, consider using a dual pot buffet slower cooker that has 2 pots, or even a triple pot buffet server with 3 slow cooker pots.

And don’t forget the slow cooker liners for an easy clean up!
