Slow cookers are on sale that will arrive by game day, like this $10 Crock-Pot
Googling food ideas for football watch parties is potentially the most chaotic recipe search of the year.
There are simply too many dips, wing sauce flavors, and nacho toppings that you've never even heard of to try. And though buffalo chicken dip is the all-time champion (and I will not be taking replies at this time), grabbing an extra slow cooker to test out a new recipe is an easy way to guarantee a successful watch party. If you don't care about sports, it's an excuse to make a greasy appetizer anyway.
Walmart and Amazon have a few ultra-cheap options from Crock-Pot and Hamilton Beach on sale, and ordering within the next few days will guarantee arrival by the big game.
