how do I convert this recipe to fit my 16 oz (2 cup) little dipper crock pot?

you dont have to!

you can put all the ingredients in a pot on the pan and make it ahead of time

then use the crock just to keep it warm while your serving it... refilling it with the rest whenever you need to

or you could cut EVERYTHING by 1/4... or even in half~

1/2 can soup

1/2 cup cheese

1/3 cup lobster

1/8 cup shrimp

1/4 cup crab

paprika nutmake cayenne

Well it says it makes about 6-7 cups....so I would round that up to 8 to make things easier to divide and so you won't have to worry about spillage...then just divide all the ingredients by 4....So I guess it would look something like this:

1 ¼ cup condensed cream of celery soup

½ cup grated sharp cheese (you can never have too much chz)

¼ cup cooked diced lobster

2 tbls chopped cooked shrimp

¼ cup chopped cooked crabmeat

dash paprika

dash nutmeg

dash cayenne pepper

¼ loaf of crusty bread, cut into 1 inch cubes

1cup=8oz

¾ cup=6oz

½ cup=4oz

¼ cup=2oz

2tbls=1oz

Well the recipe makes 6-7 cups so you'll want to cut it by at least 3/4 that size.

You'll be using only 1/4 of the amounts given in the recipe.

So instead of 2 cans of soup for instance (which equals out to about 22 oz), you'll divide 22 by 4 (5.5 oz) and use that amount of soup (about half a can as opposed to 2 cans).

Divide everything by 4 and you'll be fine.

If I was going to purchase all these ingredients I sure would not be making half a recipe. Just make the recipe and do it on the stove. Just have to keep a closer eye on it than a slow cooker but it will work out fine.

you have to divide everything by at least 3 because that recipe yields 6+ cups. but you can also do this whole recipe, get a quarter of the mixture and cook it in your pot... just chill or freeze the 3/4 thats left so you can have another batch anytime you want, the ingredients needed lasts long in the chiller anyway.

You'll have a problem reducing it more than just in half, since you have 2 cans of cream of celery soup in there. Just cut it in half; it should probably fit pretty well (use the smaller amount of lobster)
