A sweet and savory treat for any get-together that will sure be a crowd pleaser. It’s cheap and easy to make in a slow cooker with only three ingredients. I make this for any get-together and it is always a hit! I was a little unsure at first about the grape jelly concoction, but I tried it and have never done it any other way. It is so savory with just enough sweet. I always receive or over hear lots of agreement with the taste of the sauce. It always disappears at parties, and the next day I have cravings for these cocktail wienies. Try it for your next potluck, back yard BBQ, or any event!
Slow Cooker Appetizers
Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Taquitos
These are a spicy twist on traditional taquitos. The slow cooker gives this recipe ease, while the flavors keep things exciting! Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or avocado ranch salad dressing.
Amazing Buffalo Dip
I’ve had so many different Buffalo dips. I got this one from a coworker because it is amazing. I will never switch now.
Warm Chili Cheese Dip
This is a warm, cheesy dip with chili con carne. Passed down from a coworker, it’s the staple to any potluck or Sunday football game party.
Candied Bacon Pigs
If you have seen recipes for little smokies wrapped in bacon, this recipe takes it a couple steps further. It’s totally worth the extra work and always gobbled up quickly!
Queso con Carne
This queso dip will not last at any party or gathering, and all of your guests will be coming back for more.
Queso (Cheese) Dip
This is the best queso dip! Being from Texas, I know my queso, and I think this is the one that beats them all! It’s full of flavor and all fresh ingredients. You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy whipping cream, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
Slow Cooker BBQ Meatballs and Polish Sausage
This is a great appetizer. My grandma used to make these for holiday gatherings. So easy to make! Keep meatballs and polish sausage in crock pot for serving; people can grab them with toothpicks or a slotted spoon.
Carrie’s Southern Queso
Looking for a great cheese dip for that football party. This is easy to make and tastes wonderful. I have found it more common in the South, but they have loved it here in the North as well.
The Best Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs
This recipe has been a closely guarded family secret for over 20 years, we make them every Christmas and they’re always a hit. I’ve decided they’re too good not to share.
Marinated Mushrooms
My aunt (in law) always makes these for Thanksgiving dinner, and they are gone in a matter of minutes. They are so delicious!
Kielbasa Appetizer
Kielbasa, onion, jalapeno jelly, and mustard combine to make a wonderful appetizer for your next party! Serve with wheat crackers.
Slim’s Bad Attitude Nacho Sauce
This hearty nacho cheese dip is better than your average thrown-together, processed-cheese nacho mix. Serve during the big game or party, or bring with you to work and watch the pot get scraped clean. Serve with yellow corn tortilla chips and pickled jalapeno slices.
Chorizo Queso Dip
When I couldn’t figure out what to do with a roll of bulk chorizo sausage, this recipe was born. It may sound similar to other dip recipes, but don’t let that fool you…the flavor of this dip definitely sets it apart from the rest. This also reheats well. Enjoy!
Cajun Boiled Peanuts
This is my husband’s spicy and delicious recipe! It’s a tradition during football season. Dry crab boil and jalapenos instill the peanuts with a distinctive salty, spicy flavor.
Pupu Balls
Don’t let the name scare you!! I remember my mother making these 30 years ago. The longer they stay in the sauce the better they are. Serve from the slow cooker to keep them warm.
