Notes

  • For garnish: Add chopped green onions, blue cheese crumbles, or fresh chopped cilantro. 
  • Extra cheese: If you like a really cheesy dip, add about ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, which will make it ultra-stringy and stretchy. 
  • Serving: The dip tastes best once it has had a chance to cool down a bit (about 15 minutes is ideal). To keep the dip warm while serving, switch the crock pot to the “warm” setting.
  • Gluten-free: This recipe is gluten-free as written, but you should check the Worcestershire sauce to ensure it is a gluten-free brand. Also, serve with gluten-free options like corn tortilla chips, veggie sticks, fritos, etc. Separate the dip into a gluten-free side and a normal side (using foil or 2 crock pots) if you are serving a variety of guests.
  • Low carb/keto: Serve with low-carb options like keto crackers, bell pepper sticks, celery sticks, etc.
