I was so excited to make this dip for my husband and myself. Both of us were rather disappointed. Maybe I was expecting more pizza flavor. Dip seemed to lack taste and there was too much cream cheese. So glad that I only made 1/2 of the recipe. Hope I can get other family members to eat the rest of it. Will say it was easy to make.

I made this recipe yesterday for an event that was planned for teenagers. It went over very well. I brought the rest to my daughter's house for a 'grown-up' event and it was 'finished' off. I served it with carrots, celery sticks, and crackers; and did not add the black olives. I did not have access to a slow cooker, so I simmered it on the stovetop in a saucepan until the cheeses were melted and it was well heated through. When I make it again, I will skip the crockpot since nothing needs to be cooked, just melted.

I thought I rated this recipe before but obviously not. This is excellent. It's good on club crackers. It also works when when you toast English muffins and spread the hot dip on top. Nearly like a pizza. I have made this several times, once for work. There wasn't much left by the time the hogs at work got done with it. Makes a great breakfast treat on an English muffin. Make this. You won't regret it.

OMG how delicious!! Tried it out on my family and they raved about it and I will be making it again for others now that I know how good it is..Easy to make and just be sure you leave it in the crockpot long enough to get nice and hot and melt the cheese good. I would say at least the full 2 hours.

I love that I can prepare this ahead of time and then just turn on the slow cooker. Everyone loves it, especially when serve it with garlic toast!

Easy to make and it was a big hit with the crowd. I served it with bagel chips as recommended but also with pretzel chips and that was even better. Everybody thought that it tasted like the pizza flavored Combos.
