Serve this Tuscan Cream Cheese Spread as a Dip

And here’s how:

Add all the ingredients to a 1½ – 2 quart slow cooker. Cook on low (about 2 to 3 hours) until cream cheese is soft. If too thick—stir in enough milk to bring it to dipping consistency. Serve with a slices of salami and toasted baguette, focaccia or ciabatta. TIP: For a dip you might want to double the recipe.
