Slow Cooker or Crock Pot Chipotle Bean Dip
Every tailgate spread needs a good dip. And, here’s an easy hot Chipotle Bean Dip that’s made in the slow cooker so you can watch the game while it bubbles away as part of October Is Tailgating Snacks Month. This dip is filled with great flavors and spices, from the smokey chiptole paste to the smoked paprika and the chili powder, this dip’s got the football moves!
Make your own Chipotle Paste, it’s super easy. You’ll find the instructions here.
The crock pot I used for this recipe is one of those tiny little 1-1/2-Quart Slow Cookers. I got this one at a Black Friday Sale a few years ago. I love it and use it all the time for appetizers. It doesn’t take up much counter space, and it’s portable. So, if you were going to a potluck or actually out at a tailgate you could make this dip ahead of time, put it all in the crock pot, and plug it in when you got there. Easy peasy!
We even used the leftover Bean Dip for Chili on Chili Dogs. It was awesome that way!
Here’s the Chipotle Bean Dip all hot and bubbly still in the little Crock Pot
