Slow Cooker Taco Queso Dip is an easy, cheesy appetizer that disappears fast. With bold taco flavor and a creamy, scoopable texture, it’s perfect for game days, parties, or any night you want a no-fuss crowd-pleaser.
Just combine the four ingredients, let them melt together in the slow cooker, and get ready for everyone to ask for the recipe.
Ingredients At A Glance (Full, Printable Recipe Card Down Below!)
- 1 Pound Ground Beef, browned and drained -Adds a hearty, meaty element, depth of flavor, and satisfying texture to queso dip.
- 16 oz Red Salsa (your favorite is best) – Adds flavor, color, and a little kick!
- 16 oz Nacho Cheese Sauce – Adds a smooth, melty, clump-free texture.
- 8 oz Sour Cream – Adds creaminess, smoothness, and a tangy flavor. It also balances the richness of the cheese.
Items Needed:
- 2 Quart Crockpot
Directions:
Combine: In a mixing bowl, combine beef, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add: Pour contents into the slow cooker.
Cover: Cook on high for 1-1/2 hours, then switch to warm.
Serve as a dip or topping and enjoy.
Tips & Storage:
- Store in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
- This can be made on the stove, but it should be heated slowly and stirred consistently to prevent the sour cream from curdling and to avoid burning. Use a small saucepan and watch closely.
Be sure to choose your favorite brands or flavors for the salsa and nacho cheese. I like using the jalapeno nacho cheese sauce because it’s the most flavorful, but use whichever you prefer.
