Probably a sideish dish but something that could stand on its own (not really going for a cohesive meal since people usually graze and drink at my parties) but it'd be good if it was somewhat filling since to give someone another choice besides BBQ or nachos.

its going to be in one of the smaller crockpots!

What about a mac and cheese? If it's rich enough, people won't eat as much.

Grape jelly works great! I also make meatballs and cook in my crockpot with a jar of chili sauce and a can of jellies cranberry sauce. You get a nice tangy meatball.

you could call it Monster Mash...lol

Sorry i was talking about the post about the sloppy joes in the crock pot

I found some great bowls for my party. I also found a tub with skulls on it for chilling soda.

Just don't try it with tofu-dogs. It does NOT work! We have some vegetarian friends & we thought we'd try it with the Not-Dogs as we call them, & it was HORRIBLE!!!

I googled this recipe...doesn't it take ketchup as well?

This isn't food(obviously), but we keep a crock of mulled cider going. Great for the kiddos and non-alcohol crowd, and it's just yummy!

Aside from that, we do chili...It may be boring, but it's easy and always a hit. If we had more crock pots(and attendees), I'd definitely be trying some of these other ideas!

we're doing the tapeworms, the maggot stew and a cheese dip in crockpots. In fact, I made dh go buy another one this morning so we'd have enough. Everything is cooking away...smells yummy!

I like the idea of wings. You can do teriyaki, with soy sauce and brown sugar, or hot...the key ingredient is Frank's Hot Sauce (it gives the wings that buffalo flavor).
