Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 cup green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
- Prepare your mushrooms by cleaning them thoroughly. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any dirt. Once clean, chop the mushrooms into small pieces to ensure they mix well in the dip.
- Next, chop the green onions. You can use both the green and white parts for added flavor and color. Set them aside for later use.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the shredded cheese, chopped mushrooms, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder to the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into your crockpot, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to become heated through.
- After 2 hours, check the dip. It should be hot and bubbly. Stir it gently to ensure an even consistency.
- Once ready, serve the hot mushroom dip immediately with your choice of dippers such as tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables.
- Enjoy your delicious Crockpot Hot Mushroom Dip with friends and family!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the dip mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just pop it in the crockpot when you're ready to cook!
