Tips for Making the Best Crockpot Dip
When it comes to appetizers, this crockpot spinach artichoke dip is as easy as it gets. That being said, here are a few extra tips to make sure your dip turns out perfectly!
Keep The Lid On: I know it’s tempting to lift the lid and check on your dip, but you’ll only want to do this once halfway through the cooking process. Leaving the lid on helps to keep in the heat and seal in moisture so your dip doesn’t dry out or burn.Shred Your Own Cheese: Packaged shredded cheese is usually coated with additives that keep it from melting properly. I recommend shredding your own mozzarella and parmesan for best results!Add Cheese Before Serving: If you want a delicious melty layer of cheese on top of your dip, sprinkle extra parmesan or mozzarella on top a few minutes before serving!
