Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 16 oz ground beef (browned and drained)
Dairy
- 16 oz nacho cheese sauce
- 8 oz sour cream
Sauces
- 16 oz red salsa
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned and drained ground beef, red salsa, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Transfer to Crockpot: Pour the combined mixture into your crockpot and spread it evenly across the bottom to ensure even cooking and melting.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on HIGH heat setting for 1 hour and 30 minutes. This slow heat allows flavors to meld and the cheese sauce to become deliciously melty.
- Keep Warm: After cooking, switch the crockpot to the WARM setting to maintain the dip’s creamy texture and keep it ready for serving without overcooking.
- Serve: Enjoy your queso dip immediately as a snack dip with chips, or use it as a flavorful topping for nachos, tacos, or baked potatoes.
Notes
- Be sure to brown and drain the ground beef well to prevent excess grease in the dip.
- You can substitute mild or spicy salsa depending on your heat preference.
- For a thicker dip, you may reduce the amount of salsa or cook slightly longer before switching to WARM.
- Use a crockpot liner for easy cleanup.
- This dip can be kept warm for up to 3 hours safely in the crockpot WARM setting.
