The weather is getting warmer and that means one thing — party season is about to kick into full swing again. Something about spring weather pulls everyone out of his or her holes, and people will find any excuse to get together for a good old-fashioned party. And, anyone who’s ever hosted a party knows, Crock-Pot party recipes are the key to success.

Hosting a party isn’t easy work. You have to clean the entire house, make sure you have enough booze and ice to satiate your friends’ endless thirst, and on top of that, you have to have one heck of a spread of food to dig into. With an endless list of to-dos, food sometimes gets pushed to the bottom and you end up with a lackluster veggie tray and some chips and dips. Not the best impression for the first party of the season.

Baked sweet potato slices topped with fresh avocado and crisp bacon. Great finger food for game day! Paleo, gluten free, dairy free, and DELICIOUS. Who could ask for anything more? If your family is the same way, I’ve got 16 of the most delicious finger foods for football night! Scroll down to find the best finger foods including dips, chicken wings, pizza puffs, loaded.

Instead of phoning it in, be lazy and still put out some delicious food. How, you might ask? It’s time to pull out your trusty Crock-Pot. Any recipe where you can simply dump a bunch of ingredients in and go about your business for a few hours is a huge party win.
