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.
