{Slow-Cooker} Hot Corn and Black Bean Dip

Creamy, cheesy, spicy Hot Corn and Black Bean Dip turned out to be my kids’ favorite new snack over the holidays. My friend Rebecca shared this dip on her blog a few months ago and I made it the same day she posted it.

My kids went crazy for this dip and for the past few months they haven’t stopped requesting that we make it again for every possible occasion. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made this dip now and it continues to be a hit every time we serve it.

This dip is great with tortilla chips or you can serve it a side dish for Grilled Chipotle Chicken or Carne Asada Steak. Scoop the dip with chips or eat it with a spoon, however you dive into it, it’s sure to be a favorite.
