Appetizer Ideas?

Question

For Superbowl Sunday I am going to have my nesco out and it has 3 different compartments. In one compartment I am going to have a cheese dip (velveeta and no bean chili). In the next compartment I am going to have BBQ meatballs and Little Smokies. Any suggestions for what I should serve in the 3rd compartment?

A veggie dip or appetizer would be complimentary here's a few for you
Stuffed Jalapeno peppers
INGREDIENTS
1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese
6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
12 slices bacon
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the broiler.
Cut Cheddar cheese into 12 slices long enough to fit inside the jalapeno halves. Insert cheese slices into the halves. Wrap the jalapeno halves with the bacon slices, securing with a toothpick, if necessary. Place on a medium baking sheet.
Broil 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon is evenly brown.

Olive "poppers"
INGREDIENTS
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
36 pimento-stuffed or jalapeno stuffed green olives
DIRECTIONS
Mix Cheddar cheese and flour together in a bowl. Stir in butter, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour, or more.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Form chilled dough into small balls, pressing a deep hole in the center using your thumb. Stuff each ball with an olive, and seal completely.
Bake in the preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown, watching carefully and turning as needed to prevent bottoms from burning.

Hot Spinach and Artichoke dip
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 (10 ounce) bag spinach, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine green onions and jalapeno. Stir in pressed garlic.
In an 8x10 inch glass baking dish, mix sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir in green onions mixture. Blend in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Stir in spinach and artichokes. Spread mixture evenly across the baking dish. Sprinkle lemon juice on top, and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in a preheated oven about 20 minutes. Remove, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Return to oven, and bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
