Description
This is the easiest version of the classic party dip — creamy, cheesy, warm, and made entirely in the slow cooker. Just dump, stir, and let the crockpot do the work. Perfect for game days, gatherings, or anytime you need a no-stress crowd-pleaser.

Notes
Dip is watery: Spinach wasn’t squeezed dry enough — next time wring more. For now, add a handful of cheese and stir until melted.
Cream cheese still lumpy: Stir vigorously; the heat will smooth it out.
Too thick: Add a tablespoon of sour cream.
