Bacon Cheese Dip

Only question I had about this one was: is dried minced onion the same as onion powder? Because that's what we used. I need to check the spice rack at the store to see if there's something else that could have been. Otherwise, this is AMAZING.

• 2 8-oz packages cream cheese, cubed
• 4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup half and half
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried minced onion, or onion powder
• 1 tsp prepared mustard
• 16 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• tortilla chips and/or French bread slices

Combine first 6 ingredients in slow cooker. Cover, cook on low 2 hours, or until cheeses are melted. Stir occasionally if you're home and able to do so. Just before serving, stir in bacon. Serve warm with tortilla chips and/or French bread.

NOTE: Does anyone else sound out all the letters in Worcestershire as they write it? Just me? Ok. :-)
