Baking Dish — We use a 9×13-inch baking dish for this easy dip recipe but you can also use a quarter sheet pan or a disposable pan for easy clean up, if you prefer. Optional: Crockpot — This recipe requires a slow cooker. We use a 6 qt. basic Crockpot brand slow cooker. It works wonderfully. If you’re planning to take your Crockpot to potlucks you’ll want to check out this one that has a locking lid. A slow cooker has an inner pot called the crock. Neither the crock nor the lid are oven safe on most machines. Do not put them in the oven.
