Ingredients

Scale

Cheese & Dairy

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed

Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef

Seasonings & Canned Goods

  • 2 cans (10 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
  • 1 packet taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Brown Ground Beef: Cook the ground beef over medium heat in a skillet until fully browned and no longer pink, then drain excess fat to keep the dip from becoming greasy.
  3. Add Taco Seasoning: Mix in the taco seasoning packet along with water as directed on the package. Cook until the liquid evaporates to intensify the flavors in the beef mixture, then remove from heat.
  4. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the seasoned ground beef, cubed Velveeta cheese, and drained diced tomatoes with green chiles into the slow cooker. Stir everything together evenly.
  5. Cook Until Melted: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the mixture for 1 to 1.5 hours until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is bubbly and smooth.
  6. Keep Warm and Serve: Once melted, keep the slow cooker on the warm setting to maintain the perfect serving temperature. Serve the queso dip hot with tortilla chips and enjoy the crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, use diced tomatoes with hotter chiles or add diced jalapeños.
  • To make it thicker, reduce the cooking liquid before adding to the slow cooker.
  • This dip can be kept on warm setting for several hours during parties without drying out.
  • Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Use lean ground beef or ground turkey to reduce fat content.
