1 ( oz. can) Rotel, or diced tomatoes with chilies – adds some nice color and flavor to the dip.

How do I make crock pot jalapeno popper dip?

There is actually minimal prep in making this dip recipe. You will need to dice the fresh jalapeno peppers. Dicing the peppers into small pieces is ideal. Also, be sure to remove the stems and internal seeds. The seeds can be overly hot and spicy.

Another safety tip when chopping jalapenos; wear latex gloves and avoid touching your face, nose, mouth or eyes. The moisture from the peppers can be an extreme irritant to your face and can even cause harm. Please, be careful when handling hot peppers like these.

Let your slow cooker do the work:

Simply add the ingredients to the slow cooker, set it on low, and let it melt the ingredients together. While cooking, I recommend occasionally stirring the dip to help it mix and melt evenly.

I also recommend cutting the cream cheese into 1″ chunks to help it melt a little quicker.
