This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of DICK'S Sporting Goods . All opinions are 100% mine.

In our house, Football is a pretty big thing. My husband is super into sports, and my oldest son has acquired an equal affinity. So on game day, we do it up big in our house! I always bring my A game with the snacks too. These Buffalo Chicken Slow-Cooker Meatballs with Blue Cheese Dip, are among my families top fave appetizers to snack on, while rooting on the Giants.

My favorite part, aside from the fact that they are delicious? They're easy to keep warm straight through the game in a nearby Crockpot; so everyone can serve themselves! Which means I can enjoy the game too. Winning!
