So since I was having such a difficult time deciding, I gave the book to my kids and my husband and let them thumb through it and decide what they wanted to try first. Overwhelmingly, the response was for the Crock Pot Taco Dip, which I modified just a little to include ingredients I could eat with my food sensitivity. This dip is delicious and would make a great appetizer for your next pot luck, baby shower, or game day entertaining. The recipe is very versatile in that you can “dress it up” however you see fit. If you add a variety of different toppings, you can offer your own nacho bar for folks to customize any way they choose. The sky really is the limit on this recipe and many of the recipes in The Magical Slow Cooker: Recipes for Busy Moms can be adapted in this way which is what makes it the perfect gift for new Mom’s short on time or busy families on the go. Just about anyone who loves crock pot cooking or where crock pot cooking may be a necessity, like in an RV or camper.
Now, I am required to tell you that Sarah did send me a copy of her book for the purpose of this review, but the opinions expressed here are my own. I was not paid or compensated for my thoughts or opinions on the book, which if you haven’t already guessed, I love to pieces. The links listed in this post are affiliate links which means, if you purchase one of Sarah’s book, it helps support our site, Kitchen Dreaming, through our affiliation with Amazon. We thank you for supporting the brands that help keep our site running. All that being said, The Magical Slow Cooker: Recipes for Busy Moms is honestly a book I will keep in my personal collection, it is a book, that had I found it in the store would have purchased on my own because it’s a great collection of recipes for my crock pot. I hope that you will check out her book and fall in love with it the way I have.

Perfect for a nacho bar we had this weekend. Thanks for sharing
I’m so thrilled that I found your website. I normally have a problem with finding unique
recipe ideas. We have my parents visiting next weekend so I have been searching for a little something fun but easy to make.
I’ll report back once I’ve had the opportunity to try it out. Thank you for the fantastic idea! ;)
Perfect for Football Sunday. Thanks!
Thanks, Joanna. We really like it, too. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It means so much!
Looks tasty, and interested in the homemade velveeta option too, since I’m not one for processed foods.
Used to love this dip but gave it up due to processed Velveeta. I’m excited to try homemade Velveeta cheese!
Thank you so much for making this dip from my book. I love the idea of adding toppings to it! Yum!
Looks so dreamy good!
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
