Add beans to 3-quart slow cooker, fill with enough water to cover the beans by at least an inch, then add in the garlic. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until beans are very soft.

Drain beans, reserving the liquid, and place in a blender, along with dips mix, olive oil, dill and salt and pepper, and blend until creamy. If desired, add some of the reserved liquid, about ¼ cup at a time, and continue blending until dip is desired consistency.
