Whenever I go to an event, I'm always asked to bring this hot dip. Five types of cheese make it a standout and oh-so delicious. I love its party-ready convenience— I serve it straight from the slow cooker, so set-up and clean-up are a breeze! —Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

I also do not have a 3 qt. slow cooker, so any suggestions how to cook or roast in a casserole dish? Luellamae

I made this on the stove so it would go faster. Tasted really good, but made way too much for us. Would be good for pot-luck or for a group.

I served this at a family reunion party. Rather worried as this is East Texas, but went over like a house on fire. The crock pot was scraped!

can you bake in the oven, and if so, what temperature and how long?
