# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Set it and forget it freedom means you can actually enjoy your own party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • The perfect balance of heat and creaminess keeps everyone coming back for just one more bite
02 -
  • The dip will seem much thinner when it's hot, but it thickens up beautifully as it cools slightly, which is actually perfect for dipping
  • I accidentally used pre shredded cheese once and the texture was noticeably grainier, so shredding your own really does make a difference
03 -
  • Spraying your slow cooker insert with cooking spray makes cleanup so much easier when all that cheese has melted
  • If you're taking this to a party, wrap the slow cooker insert in towels or place it in an insulated carrier to keep it hot during transport
