Crock-Pot Spicy Beef Queso Dip
Crock-Pot Spicy Beef Queso Dip is a warm, creamy appetizer combining browned ground beef and onions with melted Velveeta cheese and canned Rotel tomatoes and jalapeños. Spiced with taco seasoning and slowly melted in a slow cooker, this dip boasts a rich, cheesy texture with a spicy kick. It maintains heat for serving at gatherings and blends well with chips or vegetables.
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.
