Ingredients
Meat
- 1 lb ground beef
Dairy
- 24 oz processed cheese (like Velveeta), cut into 1-inch cubes
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 20 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles (undrained)
- 3 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
For Serving
- Corn chips
- Cilantro, freshly chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink. Break it apart as it cooks for even browning. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to the crockpot.
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, undrained diced tomatoes with green chiles, chili powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the crockpot with the beef. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Slow Cook the Dip: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. This will allow the cheese to melt completely and for the flavors to blend beautifully.
- Serve: Once fully melted and heated through, stir the dip well. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve warm with corn chips for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier dip, add extra diced green chilies or a dash of hot sauce.
- If you prefer, you can use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the cheese and combine ingredients as a quicker alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently to avoid separating the cheese.
- Velveeta cheese is recommended for the best creamy texture, but other processed cheese products may work in a pinch.
