SLOW COOKER MEXICAN DIP

Slow Cooker Mexican Dip image

My husband, Jamie, and I love to entertain and this hearty, 7-ingredient dip is always a hit...as well as a request. It couldn't be much easier to put together, and using our slow cooker leaves us free to share some quality time with our guests. After all, isn't that the purpose of a holiday party? -Heather Courtney, Ames, Iowa
