CROCK POT SHRIMP AND ARTICHOKE DIP OR CRAB AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Crock Pot Shrimp and Artichoke Dip or Crab and Artichoke Dip image

This is so perfect for entertaining or to serve on Game Day. This dip stays soft and warm the whole time, doesn't get cold and solidified like many other artichoke dips I have made. You can make either the shrimp version or the crab version, or even substitute clams if you prefer. Also, I have added a small can of drained water chestnuts on occasion. Also, I use my small slow cooker for this recipe and just leave it on all day - think it's a 2 quart cooker One more note - one of my girlfriends loved this so much that she made the recipe as is and served it over linguini for Sunday Pasta.

Pam cooking spray (I use the Pam Olive Oil spray to coat the crock pot before adding ingredients)

1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 onion, chopped (1 small onion chopped & microwaved with 1 teaspoon olive oil for about 1 minute or 4 medium green on)

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded

Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray.
Add all ingredients to slow cooker and combine. Cover.

You can leave this on "keep warm" setting all day, stirring occasionally, if cheese clumps or separates from sitting.
Serve with pita wedges, cocktail rye, or sliced crusty baguette type bread.
