Crack Dip in a Crock Pot
Any suggestions? I'm supposed to make crack dip for a work potluck on Thursday and figured the crock pot would be better than heating up a big dish in the microwave.
Unfortunately I'm a crock pot novice. How long should I keep it in there? I assume I'll skip the oven all together? Help!
Re: Crack Dip in a Crock Pot
I did it in the crockpot for a work thing.
I cooked the chicken the night before and then when I came in to work, I put it in the crockpot w/ the cream cheese and hot sauce on low and then put the shredded cheese in about 1/2 hour before the lunch and turned it to high. It was goooood!
I cook chicken and mix all the ingredients (chix, cream cheese, hot sauce, and dressing) and then toss it into the crockpot. Sometimes I'll sprinkle cheese on top. I cook it according to the time I have before it needs to be ready, so it depends if I hit high/low.
I have never tasted a difference from cooking it in the oven.
so this is the only way I do it...I actually cook the chicken in a crock pot...shred that, clean the crock pot...make the dip in a bowl, and put it in the crock pot an hour or so before serving.
BUT, I don't do the recipe with the shredded cheddar...I've never understood where that fits in with a buffalo wing. I do ranch dressing 8oz, cream cheese 8oz, hot sauce 12 oz, chicken (varies, about 2 breasts shredded), and blue cheese crumbles 4-5 oz.
I'm glad to hear it's been done successfully! Too bad I'm craving it now and the pot luck isn't until Thursday...

This is how I do it also if I need to use a crock pot and it works well.
