Hello, there! Mandy here from Mandy’s Recipe Box. Who loves watching sports on t.v? And who is just there for the food (Mandy raises her hand)? I’d rather curl up with a book or Netflix and Diet Coke while my husband and son have a game on t.v. And the Superbowl? Let’s just say it’s a foodie’s dream with all the tasty food. Like this Bacon Cheeseburger Dip that I found on Pinterest from Recipes That Crock.

This dip starts out in a skillet and moves to a slow cooker which makes it a perfect appetizer. You can visit with family instead of slaving away in the kitchen. So grab some chips and get comfy watching the game (or Netflix) with your family and friends who will go crazy over this Bacon Cheeseburger Dip.
