Today was a sad day at work. It was our very talented bankers last day.

He decided to go into his family’s business, and we will miss him greatly. I will especially miss the recipes he shared with me, like this one and this one.

To show our appreciation we held food day at the bank, and I decided to bring one of my favorite dishes…in a crockpot.

Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean Dip

For the original recipe, click here. I kept everything pretty much the same, but I doubled the recipe and made it in a crockpot.

I started by heating the black beans and cream cheese on low heat.

In the crockpot it looks like this…

Hmm…It definitely does not look as appetizing as when I make it in the oven, but it has the same great taste.

I guess if you want to have a warm dip for a four-hour time spread you got to make some sacrifices.

What have you make in a crockpot lately?
