• 1 pound ground beef

Substitutions and Additions

GROUND BEEF: The classic version of this recipe is made with ground beef, but it’s easy to substitute (or add!) other options. Instead of hamburger, this is also .a hit with ground mild or spicy sausage You can actually substitute your favorite meat, just be sure it’s cooked before it goes into your crockpot.

SPICE: Craving some spice? Add a can of green chilis to your slow cooker to bring up the heat of this dish.

How to Make Crock Pot Cheese Dip

Brown the beef until cooked through and crumbly. Drain the fat. Toss it into your slow cooker with cubed Velveeta and an entire can of Rotel (juice and all!). Cook on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth

Make ahead tip: Brown the beef in advance and keep it chilled—then just toss everything in before the party.

How To Serve

You can leave this tasty dip in your slow cooker on the warm setting for up to three hours until you’re ready to serve it. You can put it in a serving bowl or serve it directly from your slow cooker to keep it warm. This is especially convenient for tailgates, potlucks, game day, etc.

PRO TIP: If you’re simmering this dip in your crock pot and find that it’s thicker than you’d like, add a couple of splashes of milk to thin it.

Scoop it up with tortilla chips, pour it over nachos, or serve it as a topper for baked potatoes or fries. Bonus: it doubles beautifully, and leftovers can be turned into queso tacos the next day. (Trust me.)

Storing Rotel Dip Made in a Slow Cooker

The best way to store your leftovers is to refrigerate them in an airtight container. Refrigerated Rotel dip will stay good in the fridge for about three days. Do not freeze it.
