Slow Cooker Hamburger Dip
A warm, hearty dip that combines seasoned beef, melty Velveeta cheese, and a tangy kick from tomatoes and green chilies. Perfect for game days, potlucks, or casual gatherings, this dip is easy to make and guaranteed to please a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 16 oz. block of Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 10 oz. can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (e.g., Rotel), undrained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Transfer to the Slow Cooker: Add the cooked beef mixture to your slow cooker.
- Add Cheese and Tomatoes: Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (with juice). Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Stir to combine.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is hot.
- Add Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream, mixing well to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Keep the slow cooker on WARM and serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or toasted bread cubes.
Notes
- Adjust Spiciness: For a milder dip, use plain diced tomatoes instead of those with green chilies. To increase the heat, add hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
- Make-Ahead Tip: This dip can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the slow cooker or on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
