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

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.
