- Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to high for 1 to 2 hours or low for 3 to 4 hours. Stir the dip every 30 minutes during cooking to ensure even melting and blending of flavors.

Notes
- For a spicier dip, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos.
- Fresh basil can be substituted with dried basil if fresh is unavailable, but use about 1 tablespoon dried.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the marinara sauce slightly.
- This dip can be kept warm in the crockpot on the ‘keep warm’ setting for up to 2 hours before serving.
- For best results, use a slow cooker liner for easy cleaning.
