That sounds great and you're brave to make up your own stuff. Mine never turns out, so I'm staying tuned here to try your successes. I need a little crock pot.

you totally do, stephanie! It is so handy to have when entertaining, or when you want a little bit of something. Walmart. xoxo--steph

We want to come over and eat your tomato dip!!!
Your site looks great!

you know, anything made with a block of cream cheese totally rocks in my book.

Yup, looks like another I have to try!! I got that same little crockpot FREE when I bought a roaster oven before Thanksgiving. We're going to friends for Super Bowl, so this might be just the thing!!

Ooo, and I'm making this tonight too. I am throwing in some artichoke hearts and spinach. It smells so good.

I went and bought one of the small pots just to make this dip.... It is wonderful. My son and I are eating it with begal chips..

Hi Stephanie!

Your site made me want to go out and buy a crockpot- so I did! I tried the Korean ribs recipe and my fiance and I loved them so much that they are now a permanent part of my recipe book. Amazing!

This dip looks so great too! I was wondering, if I double the recipe, how long should I cook it for? Could I use low fat cream cheese or would the consistency change it?

Thanks!

Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I've successfully used lower-in-fat cream cheese in the crockpot. It should be fine.

If you're going to double, I'd still cook it the same amount of time, and check. Then check every 30 minutes or so.

How about a dip with no dairy for those of us with dairy (and corn :-() allergies as well?

*SIGH* I tried this dip recipe and it was a DISASTER. I even bought a 1.5 quart mini crockpot/slowcooker for this recipe. I chopped up a bag of sundried tomatoes and put them on top of a block of cream cheese. I put the cooker on high and came back 2 hours later. I stirred and it was clumped into a super ball of pinkness with chunks of red. It burned pretty badly and believe me when I say it tasted BAD :( grr.

So, Steph, did you use the jar of sundried tomatoes in "olive oil"? And did you dump the whole jar WITH the olive oil into the mini cooker? I think that may have been my dipping flaw. Bcuz I just used a bag of sundried tomatoes. I can't believe I messed this super easy recipe up. I thought I read the directions on the blog. I feel like a complete dork. :P

I am so sorry, Crickette. I've totally done the same thing---thought I read something when I'm at the store...
ugh.
yup, my sundried tomatoes were packed in oil in the jar.
I'm sure you could use reconstituted dried tomatoes, but there isn't enough moisture for them to get soft and squishy on their own.

I'm so sorry.

Will this fit in the mini dipper (the fondue crock)? Also, while I'm posting, when you say you can use a smaller oven-safe dish inside a bigger crock pot, do you just put it straight in without any water on the outside (unless otherwise specified)? Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

I think you should use about 3/4 of the block of cream cheese and the drained and chopped tomatoes in the Little Dipper. A whole block of cream cheese will fit in it (I've tried), but I'm not sure how it will fit with the tomatoes.

For the oven-safe dish, yes. Put it directly into your stoneware with no water, and heat both up together.

I DID IT!! I DID IT!!! SUCCESS I TELL YOU!!! SUCCESS!!! I RE-DID the Sundried Tomato CrockPot Dip and it turned out great. This time I bought the Sundried tomatoes in a jar of olive oil. THIS IS KEY for the recipe to work out. DO NOT buy the reqular sundried tomatoes in a bag w/out the oil. Then I basically eye balled the amount of tomatoes to chop up and put them on TOP of the block of cream cheese in my mini crockpot. I put the dip on High for about 20 minutes. Bcuz my mini-cooker is an over achiever feels he needs to cook much faster than all the other "slow" cookers I didn't need to heat the dip for 2 hrs. I've named him Gonzo (anyways...I'm sure that's too much information). Moving on. I stirred and then added more chopped tomatoes AND added some of the olive oil from the jar they came in and stirred. I place on low for 20 more minutes and stirred again and added more olive oil bcuz the dip was looking a tad dry and VOILA! I was the master of Sundried Tomato Dip! Really. I was. All the boys ate it and loved it with tortilla chips. And they carried me on their shoulders chanting "Crickette is the master of Sundried Tomato Dip!" And guess what else. This dip tastes great with Ranch flavored Ruffles or Lays. THE END

YAY Crickette!!!!

I just have to say I love Crickette's enthusiasm. :)))

This isn't in the index or listed under dips! I remembered it existing, but couldn't find it. Google had to find it for me :-) But, having found it, I'll be making it for a snack day at work tomorrow!

I have your beef sandwiches in the crock pot right now....I'd love to make this dip, but don't have a smaller crock pot. Could I just bake it in the oven?

Just discovered your blog... looks like just what I need for a new job! I am interested in Jennifer's question... I don't have a small crock... can this be baked?
