Lightly spray the crockpot base, then add in all of the ingredients (we used a 3-quart crockpot). Set on LOW for 2 hours. Stir halfway to ensure the cream cheese is fully melted.
Serve with chips, veggies, pretzel crisps, or Ritz crackers plus any garnishes.
To reduce the amount of spiciness in this dip, remove some of the pith and most of the seeds from the jalapeños. Or, you can simply use less peppers.
I always recommend grating your cheese from the block over buying pre-shredded cheeses in a bag – especially for dips. Pre-shredded cheese from the store contains anti-caking agents which prevent them from melting as well as freshly grated cheese, and a lot of the time they leave your dip with a grainy texture.
Use your favorite mixture of cheese for this dip. We opted for Monterey jack cheese plus parmesan but it would also be good with sharp cheddar or a mixture of the two.
