Crockpot Taco Dip
Description
This Crockpot Taco Dip begins by browning one pound of lean ground beef, which is then combined in a slow cooker with taco seasoning, sour cream, diced green chiles, salsa, refried beans, and half of the shredded Colby jack cheese. The mixture cooks on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
After initial cooking, cubed cream cheese and the remaining shredded cheese are added on top and cooked for another 30 minutes. Stirring then combines all ingredients into a creamy, cheesy dip. The slow cooker keeps the dip warm until serving.
This dip is best served hot, accompanied by tortilla chips for scooping. It offers a layered blend of seasoned beef, creamy cheeses, and salsa-spiced beans. Options for variation include making homemade taco seasoning, using different cheese types, or swapping the ground beef with turkey or chorizo for different flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 7 ounces diced green chiles
- 16 ounces salsa
- 16 ounces refried beans
- 8 ounces Colby jack cheese shredded, divided
- 8 ounces cream cheese

Instructions
- Brown the hamburger in a large skillet. Drain off any excess grease. Place the hamburger in the crock pot. Add taco seasoning, sour cream, green chiles, salsa, refried beans, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine.
- Cook on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Cube cream cheese and place the rest of the shredded cheese and the cubed cream cheese on top of the dip.
- Cook for another 30 minutes. Then stir until everything is combined.
- Keep on warm until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Make your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes for customized flavor.
- Substitute Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese for Colby Jack based on preference or availability.
- Use ground turkey or chorizo instead of ground beef to vary the protein and flavor profile.
