Slow Cooker Pizza Dip

If you like this recipe, please share!

Slow cooker pizza dip doesn’t have to cook long before you’re enjoying it for game day or movie night. This is a basic pizza dip so feel free to add-in your favorite toppings.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #NationalSlowCookerMonth. All opinions are my own.

After making this dip a couple of times I decided that mixing the cream cheese mixture with the pasta sauce mixture. When my son tried it for the first time, he actually suggested mixing the two together. It was a great idea.

I made this recipe for just 3 of us, however, slow cooker pizza dip is easily adaptable for more servings. Use a larger crock pot and double the ingredients. The dip itself is gluten-free

While you could use crackers, or even vegetables, the perfect dippers are garlic knots made with Rhodes frozen bread dough. If you’ve never used frozen bread dough you really must try it. It’s so versatile and easy with much less work than making bread from scratch.

Just follow the directions on the package for thawing the rolls. There are two options, follow whichever works best for your plan. They really proof nicely!

I proofed my rolls on the counter and they took about 3 hours, so you need to be sure to plan. The refrigerator method works well too. I did that at Christmas when I served Rhodes rolls.
