What is a slow cooker?? I want to make this but don't know what to make it in!!
ReplyDeleteA slow cooker is the same as a crockpot. An electric appliance that heats evenly, low and slow. Although I have not tried it, you can probably make this dip in a dutch oven, or saucepan on the stove top. You will have to keep mixing the ingredients so they do not burn on the bottom.However, you can probably cook the mixture for a total of 30 mins. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Do you suggest a certain crock pot that has worked well for you?
ReplyDeleteI have the All Clad slow cooker. I am not 100% happy with it because my insert is cracked already and its reallly expensive. I think you can get a nice one at bed bath and beyond or even ace hardware has some. Maybe look online or amazon at reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!!
