Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 block cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat completely.
- Transfer the browned ground beef to the crock pot and add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, ensuring all liquid is included.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and tomatoes, stirring to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Cut the block of cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the crock pot. These will melt and create a rich, creamy base for the queso.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the ingredients, covering them evenly.
- Cover the crock pot and set to low heat. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure all cheeses melt smoothly and ingredients are well combined.
- Once the dip is hot, creamy, and all cheeses are fully melted, stir thoroughly to create a uniform consistency.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for nachos. Keep warm in the crock pot during serving.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality ground beef and fresh ingredients. This will enhance the overall taste of your dip.
- Customize the Heat: If you like a little kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mixture for an extra layer of spice.
- Stir Occasionally: Remember to stir the dip occasionally while it cooks. This ensures that all the cheeses melt evenly and prevents any sticking to the sides of the crock pot.
- Keep It Warm: If you’re serving this dip at a gathering, keep the crock pot on the warm setting to maintain that delicious, gooey consistency throughout the event.
- Pair It Right: Serve your queso dip with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or even as a topping for nachos for a fun twist!
