This Crock-Pot Spicy Beef Queso Dip combines seasoned ground beef, melted Velveeta cheese, and diced Rotel tomatoes and green chilies for a creamy, flavorful appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings. The slow cooker method allows the dip to stay warm and gooey for hours, making it easy to serve alongside chips or veggies.

Ingredients

Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 large (or 2 small) jalapeños, seeded and finely minced
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (homemade or store-bought)

Cheese and Tomatoes

  • 32 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
  • 20 ounces canned Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and diced yellow onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat to keep the dip from getting greasy.
  2. Add Jalapeños and Seasoning: Add the finely minced jalapeños, water, and taco seasoning mix to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook while stirring frequently until the liquid has evaporated, ensuring the flavors meld and the mixture thickens. Remove the skillet from heat once done.
  3. Combine in the Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked beef mixture into a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the canned Rotel. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Slow Cook Until Melted: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
  5. Keep Warm and Serve: Once melted and combined, keep the slow cooker on the warm setting to maintain the dip’s temperature. Stir well before serving and enjoy with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For less heat, reduce the amount of jalapeños or remove all seeds before chopping.
  • You can substitute Velveeta with another processed cheese, but melting results may vary.
  • Make the taco seasoning at home for a fresher taste and to control sodium levels.
  • This dip can also be kept warm in a fondue pot or warming tray if a slow cooker is unavailable.
  • Stir the dip occasionally while warming to prevent sticking or burning on the edges.
