I was looking for a super bowl appetizer and tested this out. We loved this dip and I love I can toss it on the slow cooker and come back later to a hot dip!

I love this recipe and am so glad it fits my Keto diet lifestyle! I am all over the blue cheese crumbles also, I love it so much that I’ve been known to grab a chunk from the fridge just to eat it alone!
