Easy Slow-Cooker Snacks For Game Day

What do we love most about game day? The snacks, of course. Cheesy dips, Buffalo chicken, meaty sliders, and extravagant nachos are what make game day so special, whether we're watching at home or are out tailgating. But we often find that making all these fabulous treats is more work than we had planned for: Hours in the kitchen to cook all our favorite snacks isn't exactly how we envisioned spending our greedy weekend. However, this no longer has to be the case: Thankfully, we've found slow-cooker versions for all our favorite game-day snacks.

This creamy, cheesy, spicy, and super-easy dip is perfect for game day. Stir everything together, let it cook for two hours, serve it with chips, and you're done.
