  • The dip needs at least 2 hours on low for the cream cheese to fully melt and the flavors to marry
  • Stirring halfway through is non negotiable or you will get pockets of unmelted cream cheese
03 -
  • Cut the cream cheese into cubes before adding it to help it melt faster and more evenly
  • Use a slow cooker liner for the easiest cleanup ever
