The Cob-less Hot Cob Dip!
Think of a lush cob loaf - minus the cob! Great for low carb folk, for parties and for entertaining 🙂 A cheesy, creamy dip delight!
Ingredients
- 250g Philadelphia cream cheese block
- 2/3 cup cooking cream
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 40g pkt dry French Onion Soup mix
- 150g diced bacon
- 1 cup grated tasty cheese
- 3 Tablespoons of diced fresh chives
- 2/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Lay a sheet of baking paper on bottom of slow cooker bowl (just to protect surface)
- Fill slow cooker bowl with 2cm of water
- Sit a suitably sized (oven proof) serving dish into the water bath in the slow cooker
- I used an oven proof ceramic type dish approx 23cm long, 15cm wide and 7cm deep
- Combine cream cheese, cream, sour cream, soup mix, bacon and tasty cheese in a mixing bowl and combine well
- Transfer to the cooking dish
- Cover using The Tea Towel Trick
- Cook on high for 1hr 30 mins, stirring once during cooking time to combine well as cheeses melt
- Then sprinkle top with diced chives and mozzarella cheese and cook for an additional 15mins, still with tea towel trick in place
- Carefully remove dish from slow cooker, wipe the bottom that is wet, then serve straight to the table
Serving Suggestion
- Serve with carrot, cucumber and celery sticks, bread sticks, and tortilla chips
- Low carb when served with appropriate dipping sides
- You could vary contents to any of your favourite cob fillings if you preferred

Really good dip! Easy to make! Would add more chesse next time. Would make again!
Could you store left overs? if so how?
Hi Christie, could you tell me please, what is the ‘tea towel trick’?
Theresa >> The tea towel trick
Can this be done directly in the slow cooker without the water and extra dish, my slow cook is only a small one and don’t have a dish to fit
Yes so long as yours isn’t one that cooks extra hot and it doesn’t burn/stick … just keep an eye on it 🙂
Would it be possible to freeze leftovers please?
I’ve not tried to myself Julie … someone else may see your question though and may have the answer. I’m THINKING it might not be a great option for freezing but I may be wrong 🙂
I freeze leftovers in a plastic container and reheat in the microwave when I reuse.
We used lactose free cream cheese, cream, sour cream, tasty cheese and seasoned with pepper, garlic and onion powders instead of the french onion soup mix. Left the mozzarella out as no lactose free.
Direct in sc for approx 2hrs, stirring 2 or 3 times.
