We’re sure we can all agree that every great get-together needs to have appetizers. Whether it’s a Super Bowl party, Christmas Eve, potlucks, or even a lowkey Friday night hangout, nothing brings people together like delicious finger food.
We know hosting can feel like a lot of pressure, which is why we love quick, easy, and low-ingredient recipes that don’t require you to spend hours in the kitchen prepping. And we have extra love for those that can be made ahead of time or in a slow cooker—or that don’t require any cooking at all. Luckily, the Allrecipes community feels the same, so most of these appetizer recipes tick one of those boxes.
These 10 appetizers have been saved to your profiles over and over again. So, if you haven’t made them yet, now’s your chance to let them shine.
