Veggie Fondue

We had a fondue potluck a few weeks ago and it was delicious! A crock pot works fine for fondue (or maybe it’s more like dip how we do it but whatever, it’s still good!)

I made this cheesy fondue and it was really good, pretty thick though.

Veggie Fondue
1/2 c. milk
8 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 oz light cream cheese
1/4 c. chopped green onions
1/2 c. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
In 3 quart slow cooker, add all ingredients and cook on low for 2-3 hours; stir mid way.
