Crockpot Dips

We'll start with the #1 of crockpot appetizers...crock pot dips! Here's a big list of crock pot dip ideas! We're starting with a total of 21 (to be expanded per request). If you like this list we also have an older post...but dip recipes don't age...most are simply classics. You can see that older post here.

Crock Pot Mushrooms

And IF you're wanting something a little different than the regular fare...you could try any of these mushroom ideas too! Most take ranch but hey! Ranch ROCKS. Most are simmered in a sauce of some sort, but there's a crockpot stuffed mushroom as well. I can attest that several of these are absolutely delish! Not only are they great for parties they are awesome topping a grilled steak.

Crockpot Sausage & Little Smokie Ideas

Little smokies. Lil' smokies. Party sausages. Party wienies. Whatever you call them. They are delicious when simmered in a sauce in the crockpot. The slow simmering allows the sauce to marinate, stick and even absorb just a bit.

Some of these recipes are for little smokies. Some are for smoked sausage. And others are for kielbasa. They are all interchangeable for these recipes. So don't stress if the shelf is empty for one...just go get the other, toss the stuff in the crock and enjoy the party!

Crock Pot Snack Mixes

Another VERY easy option (and something most folks won't be expecting) from the crockpot appetizers arena...is slow cooker snack mix. There are both sweet and savory options. These are really excellent for just about anything!

Slow Cooker Chicken Wings

And to round out the list. Chicken wings. Crockpot chicken wings are a delicious option for a light meal, snacking, date night, blah-blah. You get it. They rock! And they'll rock your crock...yeah, yeah...I had to sneak that in 🙂

You can make any and all of these babies for snacks or a meal. Served over rice with a side salad they'd rock any plate. And by making them in the crockpot they'll stay warm all through your party time.

Ppssttt...if you want them to brown, just pop them in the oven on broil for about 10-15 minutes and then dump them back in the crockpot to stay warm. It might seem like extra work but it is worth it. Why? 'Cause making them in the slow cooker makes the chicken super-duper tender 🙂
