Crock Pot Recipe Ideas For Your Oscars Party

For some, throwing an Oscar party is just an excuse to drink, eat yummy treats, and hang out. It's pretty much exactly like the Super Bowl! But for those of you who take the Oscars night very seriously, then you need a seriously easy meal to prepare. These Crock Pot Oscar party recipes will be easy, and hearty, for a serious night of watching ahead.

Now, a ton of these recipes aren’t exactly your snacking and dipping type of meals – although I did add in a few desserts to munch on after. No, no…if you are as serious about the Oscars as you think you are, then you deserve a hearty meal that will make you feel full and will have you getting up from your seat to grab food less and less. These meals are packed with deliciousness that will require only one trip to the food table, and a second trip for dessert during a commercial. This saves you from having to leave the television and miss something important from this iconic evening.

So if you’re a serous Oscars goer and need a serious meal to go with your evening, then here are some heavy Crock Pot meals that require little effort and will serve all of your movie-loving friends.
