💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

❓ FAQ
Of course! Since it is baked in the oven, I recommend using two separate baking dishes rather than piling it all into one. This will help to ensure everything bakes evenly.
You sure can! Simply add all of your ingredients into your crockpot and cook on low heat. Make sure to stir occasionally, and it should be ready in around 2 hours.
Yep! To make this tasty dip ahead of time, simply prepare it all the way - just don't put it in the oven yet. Cover it and keep it in the fridge for a day until you are ready to bake it!
