Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can this cook in a crockpot?
Yep! Cook the meat first, then toss everything into a crockpot and heat on low for 2-3 hours.
→ Can I switch up the meat?
For sure! Go all beef, all sausage, or even lighter with ground turkey.
→ How do I keep it hot for guests?
Pop it in a slow cooker on warm, or reheat slowly when needed.
→ Is it okay to freeze this?
Not the best idea since dairy dips tend to split when thawed and reheated.
→ How spicy does it get?
It's mild unless you add more jalapeños or hot sauce!
