Dips are my all time favorite food. I have often joked with my family about opening a dip restaurant….. that ONLY serves dips and a variety of dippers. (If you make millions off this idea, please come back and drop me some cash! lol)
But seriously, this Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip is perfect for those “Netflix and Chill” nights, footballs season, party season, or a family potluck. The creamy and slightly spicy appetizer is always a fan favorite. It is such an easy dish to make in either the slow cooker or oven. See extra directions below for oven directions.
