📋 Recipe FAQs

Can I make this dip in the slow cooker?

Yes, you can. Just add all the ingredients into your slow cooker that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Stir and cook on low until everything is warmed and the cheese is melted.

Why is my dip greasy?

This combination of ingredients can cause the dip to get a little bit greasy. You can try using all white meat instead of dark meat to help reduce some of the grease.
