My new go-to recipe. Super easy and really good.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Nacho Cheese Dip
what you need:
- 2 (10 oz) cans of Rotel Original
- 2 lb block Velveeta cheese
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- small block of pepper jack cheese (optional)
- McCormick Taco Seasoning
- Tortilla chips
directions:
- heat a crock pot on high
- cut velveeta block into pieces and add to crock pot
- shred pepper jack cheese and add to crock pot
- brown ground beef, drain excess grease, add seasoning and simmer for 5 minutes
- add browned beef to crock pot
- add both cans of rotel to crock pot
- stir... once bubbly, turn down to low
- enjoy
yummy! sounds super easy! (especially since we have at least half of the ingredients already!)
I love anything you can throw into a crockpot!
I've never thought to add taco seasoning, but this sounds yum! Amd, I love that it is still the same Rotel dip, just with a kick!
Now let me give you a little recipe that you can use up any leftover queso (nacho cheese)...
2 cups nacho cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
Mix all these ingredients together (may need to melt the cheese a little to get it mixable). Pour over 3-4 chicken breasts in crock pot, cook on low about 6 hours. Take chicken breasts out and shred the chicken up, put back in crock pot and cook on low for about 15 minutes. Serve over rice.
My sister-in-law makes the best homemade queso but she makes a TON of it. We can only eat it for so many days, so I started using it in the above recipe, which I made up out of desperation (you know, you are running behind, nothing really planned, so you throw a bunch of things together). The best part is the chicken comes out so moist and delicious!

we had that all the time growing up... so good! the updated version is to use a brick or 2 of cream cheese instead of velveeta (and i love it with pork sausage instead of growned beef). believe it or not, it's even better :)
This is making me hungry. Really hungry.
I'm with Kelli. The Sausage is THE way to go!! ;)
Oh my heavens, that sounds amazing! I love good party food.
oh yes...so yummy...try the sausage...delish !!!!
even better if you use pork sausage!
I have a similar recipe, but I use ground sausage for a little kick. I also put in cream of mushroom soup (i know, sounds weird) b/c it makes it so it doesn't harden at the top.
