If you don’t have a crockpot or slow-cooker, don’t let that stop you from making this dip! It can be baked just fine using a Dutch oven or cast iron pan.  As with the slow cooker version, cook beef, add ingredients together and then place in your cast iron pan or Dutch oven.. Put the pan in the oven on 375 degrees F and heat, stirring every 20 minutes until the dip is creamy and melted.
