Step aside veggies! No Superbowl party is complete without some sort of deliciously sticky, messy, meaty treat? Here are some slow cooker recipes that offer the finger-licking meat-mess without all of the baking stress.

The best part of these simply lip smacking recipes is that they can be prepared hours in advance which frees you up to sit back and enjoy the big game.
