   This isn’t a dip, but one of our favorite crock pot appetizers is to combine a small jar of grape jelly with equal parts of ketchup or chili sauce and heat until blended. Add to a crock pot with kielbasa (smoked Polish sausage) sliced on an angle. Allow to “cook” a few hours before serving. Also good with cocktail size meatballs. Just serve with toothpicks.

   This is so good. I love this recipe.

   1 lb corned beef, finely chopped
   1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and chopped
   1 cup thousand island dressing
   1 1/2 cups swiss cheese, shredded
   1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
   1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

   Mix this all in your crockpot and cook on low for about 3 hours. It sits fine in there afterward too. Serve with rye crisps or crackers.

   I have also mixed up some chili that I had leftover (but you could make it in your crockpot the night before) with 1 pack of velveeta cheese. I served it with tortilla chips. It was good, but the first is definitely better.

   Lil smokies (or meatballs) are always good.

   Make the sweet and sour sauce like this:

   1 can of cranberry sauce
   and
   1 jar of coctail sauce
   Heat until all is smooth and melted
   (You may need to double it depending on how many smokies you are putting in)
   This is also excellent with frozen meatballs (get the “Swedish” kind not the Italian)

   Drop in your lil smokies (or meatballs)
   Heat on high until they are hot
   Turn down to low to stay warm.

   For a dip…

   The ever faithful Rotel dip (w/ or w/out sausage)!!
   Large Block of Velveeta
   2 cans of rotel
   browned sausage (optional)

   Chunk up the cheese first
   Put all ingredients in the crock pot
   Turn on high until all is melted
   Turn on low to keep warm
   Serve with Tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops

   I love to make a chili cheese dip in the crock pot. First turn the crock pot on to high. Cut up one large box of Velveeta cheese into small cubes and put into crock pot (you can buy it cheapest at Wal-Mart if there is one near you). Add in one to two cans (depends on how much you like) of Chili with NO Beans. Stir it up and let it go. I would not stir it for the first hour and then stir every 20-30 mins. You can also add salsa instead of chili to the velveeta. This is always the first thing to go at any of our family gatherings. I hope you have fun at the baby shower!
