Time on High: Cooks on LOW Time on Low: 4 to 5 Hours This dish was inspired by a recent experience I had at a Mexican restaurant in the Phoenix, AZ area. I fell in love with a cheesy jalapeno dipping sauce and I knew I had to recreate at home in my Crock-Pot® slow cooker! This recipe has become a frequently requested dish at my home. I hope your family loves it too!
