INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
- Velveeta Cheese - This processed cheese product can usually be found in the dairy section of your grocery store or near where the items for mac and cheese are. It comes in a rectangle block and can easily be diced into cubes.
- Canned Diced Tomatoes - This ingredient adds liquid that helps thin out the dip while adding an acidic tomato flavor that pairs well with the cheese.
- Green Chilies - This green pepper gives the dip a bit of a spicy kick along with its texture.
- Cumin - A hit of dried cumin adds a layer of smoky flavor throughout the dip.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT VELVEETA CHEESE DIP
Prepare the Velveeta: Remove the cheese block from the package. With a sharp knife, cut the cheese into one-inch cubes.
Layer ingredients: Add the cheese cubes to the crock pot, pour in the tomatoes and chilies, and sprinkle the cumin on top.
Cover and cook: Add the lid to the top of the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 hours while stirring occasionally.
Turn to warm: Once the queso is melted and everything is mixed together, turn the crock pot to warm and serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or cut vegetables.
RECIPE TIPS
- Cut the Velveeta into even cubes to ensure they all melt at the same time.
- When pouring in the canned tomatoes, make sure to pour in the canning liquid as well. This liquid helps thin out the dip and gives it a creamy texture.
- If you like your cheese dip extra creamy, feel free to add an additional 8oz of Velveeta.
- The amount of time it takes to melt fully depends on your individual crock pot and its size. Be sure to stir occasionally and check to make sure the cheese is completely melted.
