# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It cooks itself while you clean the house, answer the door, or pretend you have everything under control.
  • The creamy, tangy heat makes people forget there are other snacks on the table.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken and skip half the work without anyone knowing.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, which means midnight snacks for the next three days.
02 -
  • Softening the cream cheese before adding it prevents those stubborn cold chunks that never quite melt.
  • Stirring halfway through is not optional, the edges can get too hot and the center stays cold if you skip it.
  • Do not cook this on high to save time, it will break and get oily instead of creamy.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor without any extra work.
  • Let the cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes before starting, it makes all the difference in texture.
  • Keep the slow cooker on the warm setting during the party so every scoop stays perfectly melty.
