This Slow Cooker Hot Ham & Cheese Dip is perfect for an afternoon snack, relaxing with a great game on TV, hanging out with family, or even a comfort food dinner on a lazy night. (What? I didn’t say that, did I? Dip some veggies in it, instead of just chips, if you’re going to do that. Or don’t do the veggies… live dangerously!)

There is just something about hot ham and cheese, isn’t there? This dip reminds me of this Slow Cooker Ham & Cheese Soup… but it’s thick and scoopable onto yummy chips.

Every time you cook a ham, you’re going to have leftovers. That’s just part of ham and holidays. So why not make the most of your leftovers? Chop up some of that ham and toss it in a 6 quart slow cooker to make this dip. (And try these other leftover ham recipes!)

This dip really does need to be served warm. As it starts to cool off, it loses this wonderful creamy texture and has a consistency more like Velveeta. Because, let’s face it, this dip is mostly Velveeta. Stash any leftovers in an air-tight container in your refrigerator. Warm it up in the microwave or in your slow cooker again before you have that late-night snack.

Enjoy!
