- Cook the Dip: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and cook the mixture on LOW heat for 2 hours until the cheese is melted and the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Mix and Garnish: Stir the dip thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup chopped bacon and the chopped green onions on top for a fresh and flavorful garnish.
- Serve Warm: Serve the crack chicken dip warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or chips for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- For shredded chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or cook and shred your own chicken breasts or thighs.
- Velveeta cheese can be substituted with processed cheese or a mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack if preferred.
- Cook the bacon ahead of time for easier chopping and better texture in the dip.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the evaporated milk slightly or cook the dip uncovered for the last 15 minutes to thicken.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on the WARM setting if serving over a longer period.
- Garnish can be doubled or customized with chopped jalapeños or extra cheese for spice and richness.
