I need some good things to put in a crock pot. I have three this year and I'm running kind of low on food ideas.
The main event is going to be pizza so I don't really want anything like soup or chilli in the pots... more on the party food side.
Also... there will be lots of drinking so... nothing that spells vomit.
I'm going to do cheese dip in one for sure.
Any suggestions?

I can never have a party without doing Lil' Smokies. A couple bags of smokies, a jar of BBQ sauce and a small jar of grape jelly = divine.
(If you're in to "naming" your foods, I always label them as "Dead Man's Toes.")
It's a hit!
Also, spinach artichoke dip is great!

A variation on the smokies, Bourbon Dogs.
Cup of bourbon, cup of brown sugar, pack of good hot dogs cut up in bite sized pieces (you could use the cocktail weenies too), cook away til the liquid is reduced. They'd work perfectly in a crock pot. You can leave the bourbon out, but since it's cooking a long time, the alcohol should evaporate.
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!!!Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, the best damn little band you should be listening to!

Great idea!

Grape Jelly? With the Lil' smokies? Are you serious? That sounds so bazaar... lol. (I don't cook much)

You could also do meatballs. I did them for our New Orleans/Voodoo-themed party last year with Andioulle & Chorizo sausages. I can probably dig up the recipe, if you want it.

I will have a crock pot of "Gnarly Nuggets" - meatballs in plum sauce.

Last year I made chilie and put it in the crock pot to keep warm. This year I am going to make roast beef for sandwiches.

you could do wings, or ribs but my personal favorite in a crock pot is pulled pork. It's inexpensive and easy and everyone loves it.
