FAQ's
The two main steps you can take to help prevent the cheese dip from burning to your crockpot are by using a non-stick spray before adding your ingredients and by stirring often! You can use a crockpot liner to make cleanup easier afterward as well, but it is not required.
No, it does not need to be drained! The little liquid in the can, can be added to the dip because it is so little, and it will help the cheese mix together. It also adds great flavor to add to the dip!
Store your leftover dip in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl, and remember to cover it to prevent a mess. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir.
