"This easy-fix dip recipe from the Test Kitchen of TOH is the perfect example of why every convenience food is welcome in my pantry/fridge & my slow cooker is my most-valued "kitchen slave". W/little effort, it creates a cheesy combo of tasty seafood flavors that is a departure from most routine party dips & is best served w/garlic-flavored baguette bread slices or pita crisps. ENJOY!"

Step 1

In a greased 3-qt slow cooker, combine the cheese, crab, tomatoes & shrimp. Cover & cook on low for 1-1/2 to 2 hrs or until cheese is melted, stirring occ.

Step 2

TO SERVE: Serve w/choice of (or combo of) garlic-flavored baguette slices &/or pita crisps. (Yield = 5 cups or 20 1/4 cup servings).

Step 3

HINT: To keep condensed water from draining into your dip mixture as you stir, etc - I have found it best to cover my slow cooker w/a kitchen towel & then put the lid in place.
