How To Make Crock Pot Beef Nacho Dip

Recipe Tips
- Can I make this spicier?
Use hot Rotel or add diced jalapeños for extra heat. - Can I use shredded cheese instead of Velveeta?
Velveeta melts more smoothly, but shredded cheddar or pepper jack can work with added cream. - How to make it creamier:
Add a splash of milk or more sour cream if it thickens too much. - Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just use a larger slow cooker and increase cook time slightly. - Best chips for dipping:
Thick, sturdy tortilla chips hold up best with this hearty dip.
What To Serve With Beef Nacho Dip

- Mini bell peppers for dipping
- Soft pretzels
- Warm flour tortillas
How To Store Beef Nacho Dip
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or slow cooker.
Freeze: Not recommended, as cheese sauces can separate and become grainy when reheated.
