Slow cooker cheese dip with leek and garlic

I am so over winter.

this recipe

I know that's bad, because there's still plenty more winter to go. But there's SNOW and ICE and then there's that whole VORTEX thing and YOU GUYS. I am OVER it.

So to combat the "I AM FREEZING ALL THE TIME" trend, I've been on somewhat of a hot food binge. Soup and tea and more soup and zero salad ever, because salad is (usually) cold and cold things suck. Totally logical, right? Right. I knew you'd understand.

I also made this slow cooker cheese dip. Partly because I was cold and it was warm. Partly because I like to stand with my hands over my crockpot like it's a campfire I built while exploring the wilderness Indiana Jones style. Except the wilderness is my kitchen and it's pretty much totally explored. Because it's tiny. And I complain too much to probably ever make a good explorer. Also, I'm in sweatpants. And I'm pretty sure I've never seen Indiana Jones wearing sweatpants.

But…this dip. It was good. Kyle and I ate the whole thing in one sitting. Umm, ALSO - it's the Super Bowl on Sunday! This MIGHT just be a GREAT dip to add to your football rotation. Plus, it's in a slow cooker, so it's hands-off to let you actually watch the game. If you're into that sorta thing.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1 cup fresh goat cheese
• 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups leeks, washed and chopped

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and stir to combine.
2. Cook on low for 2-4 hours, stirring every 45 minutes or so, until cheese has melted.
3. Serve dip with crackers, chips, or crostini. I recommend leaving it in the slow cooker over low heat while you serve the dip, to keep the cheese nice and melty (yes, that's a word).

Notes

This is a great dip to experiment with! Make it your own by adding cream cheese, roasted peppers, or any other goodies you've got lying around.
