Crock Pot Beef Queso Dip Recipe

I’ve made a number of queso dips before and this one has it all. It’s super creamy and rich from a combination of Velveeta and cream cheese. A full pound of ground beef, plus a can of chili gives it lots of meatiness.

There’s also a cup of salsa and some hot sauce mixed in. You can vary the heat level by using mild, medium, or hot salsa and adding more or less hot sauce.

Also added are a jalapeno pepper, green bell pepper, and onion for flavor.

The ground beef needs to be browned in a pan before it is added to the crock pot, but besides that, all the ingredients just get dumped in the crock pot and cooked on LOW for 3 hours.

Be sure to buy a huge bag of tortilla chips, maybe two. This Crock Pot Beef Queso is a real crowd pleaser.
