Football season means awesome appetizers and hot dips with crunchy chips. And… if that dip has a southwestern flavor… BOOM! More power to ya! That’s why I created this hot taco dip recipe.
Yes, I have had other taco dip. Yes, some of them are heated in the oven. Yes, they have lovely layers of goodness that send my tastebuds into overdrive but… read this…
I AM LAZY.
I needed a taco dip recipe that I could dump in the crock pot and go. Leave it heating for a couple of hours and DONE.
I love serving this hot taco dip with a mini salad bar and a variety of chips.
[Psst… Did you see the snack sale at Publix? You can get $5 back when you spend $20!]
Pour this cheesy taco dip over nacho chips, corn chips, scoops… whatever you love. Then, add some fun toppings like tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced black olives, chunks of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of lime juice.
You could make a meal of it! (Might not be my best idea but you know what I mean.) It’s delicious with piles of fun toppings, but then again…
If that is too much work for lazy people like me, just eat the dip straight from the crock pot. No plates required.
Hot Taco Dip Recipe

An amazingly-easy hot taco dip recipe that you can just toss in the slow cooker and serve in a couple of hours. Now who is the hostess with the mostess? You are!
- 1 large loaf Velveeta, diced
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, diced

- 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
Dump all ingredients into your slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for about two to three hours until the cheese is melted.
Stir together well and serve.
Optional: add milk to make the dip thinner
Sounds perfect! I will be making this soon!
