    Whole garlic, pepper and shallotStart with your simple fresh veggies!! Peel the garlic and shallot and remove ribs and seeds from the peppers.

    Pepper in chopper

    To make it super simple just toss them right into your mini chopper so you never have to get the hot pepper juice on your hands! Have you ever done that and then forgot and touched your face? Ouch!!!

    Chopped pepper in mini chopper

    Add your finely chopped veggies to the slow cooker and shred up your cheese from the block (no pre-shredded, it won't melt as well) and add remaining ingredients. My favorite gadget for shredding up a block of cheese in only a few seconds? A salad shooter!

    Container of half and half

    Crank it up to high, cover and let it all start to melt. Stir every 20-30 minutes or so for a couple hours until totally melted. Add more half and half or some milk if it ends up too thick.
