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.
