This Slow Cooker Queso Dip recipe is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings. Made with Velveeta cheese, ground beef, taco seasoning, and diced tomatoes with green chiles, it’s easy to prepare and keeps warm in the slow cooker, making it ideal for serving with tortilla chips throughout any event.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed

Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef

Other

  • 2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained (10 ounces each)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Water according to taco seasoning packet directions
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add Taco Seasoning: Return the beef to the skillet and add the taco seasoning along with the amount of water specified on the seasoning packet. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the meat is well coated with seasoning, then remove from heat.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the seasoned ground beef, cubed Velveeta cheese, and drained diced tomatoes with green chiles to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
  5. Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Keep Warm and Serve: Once melted, keep the slow cooker on the warm setting to maintain the dip’s creamy texture throughout your party. Serve the queso dip warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Brown and season the meat in advance and store it separately in the refrigerator. Add to the slow cooker along with other ingredients about 1.5 hours before serving.
  • Keep it Warm: Use the warm setting on your slow cooker to keep the dip dippable and creamy during your event.
  • Cheese Options: If using cheese other than Velveeta, cube it from a block rather than shredding to avoid cornstarch thickening the dip.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze leftover dip in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw completely before reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a slow cooker on low, stirring every 20 minutes. Add a splash of milk or half and half if needed to adjust consistency.
