Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef turkey, or chicken
  • 16 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1 pound Velveeta or American cheese cubed
  • 8 ounces salsa spice level as preferred
  • 1 10 oz can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies), undrained
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • ¾ –1 ¼ cup milk or half and half
  • Dippers: tortilla chips corn chip scoops, raw vegetables

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat until browned, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess grease and blot with paper towels if necessary.
  • In a 2-quart or larger crockpot, layer half of the Velveeta, salsa, Rotel, cooked meat, and taco seasoning. Repeat layers.
  • Cover and cook on low, stirring every 20–30 minutes, until melted and smooth (about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your slow cooker).
  • Whisk in ¾ cup milk or half and half, adding more as needed to reach desired consistency. Set heat to “warm.”
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, corn chip scoops, or raw veggies for dipping.

Notes

  • Use any ground meat you prefer—beef, turkey, or chicken all work well.
  • Adjust the amount of milk to create a thinner or thicker dip texture.
  • Great for potlucks, tailgates, and holiday parties!
