Slow-Cooker Bacon Caprese Dip

Heat 6-quart slow cooker to Low or Warm heat setting.

In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; remove bacon to paper towels and drain, leaving 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet. Once cooled, crumble bacon; add half of the bacon back to skillet, along with sun-dried tomatoes. Cook about 1 minute.

Reduce heat; add cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese to the still-warm skillet, stirring until cheeses are melted. Scrape cheese mixture into the warmed slow cooker. Cover; keep the dip warm in the slow cooker, and serve within 2 hours.

When serving, garnish with ribbons of fresh basil, fresh tomato and the remaining bacon. Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
