Crock-Pot Spicy Beef Queso Dip
Description
This dip starts by browning ground beef and diced onions in a skillet, then adding finely minced jalapeños, water, and taco seasoning, cooking until most liquid evaporates. The prepared meat mixture is transferred into a slow cooker along with cubed Velveeta cheese and cans of Rotel tomatoes with their juices. Cooking on low heat melts the cheese thoroughly and combines the flavors into a smooth, creamy dip.
The result is a thick, cheesy sauce punctuated by the spicy notes of jalapeño and taco seasoning, with the tomatoes adding moisture and acidity. The slow cooker allows gentle heat maintenance, making it suitable for serving throughout a party. The texture is creamy and smooth, perfect for dipping.
This dip is commonly served with tortilla chips or crisp vegetables and works well as a casual appetizer for social occasions.
Ingredients
- 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
- 32 ounces Velveeta cheese cut into cubes
- 20 ounces ROTEL canned
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain. Add the jalapeños, water and taco seasoning, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
- In a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, add the prepared beef mixture, the Velveeta cheese and the cans of Rotel. Stir well and cook on low until the cheese is completely melted, 1 to 2 hours. Keep the slow cooker set to warm to serve during a party, giving the mixture a good stir before serving.
