What Kind Of Slow Cooker Is Best For This Recipe?
I like to use my casserole slow cooker for this recipe. The reason? Its low profile makes it easy for dipping in chips or veggies. I set up the slow cooker on the buffet and serve directly from it.
If you don’t have this style of a slow cooker, use any medium size crock pot that you have.
