Slow Cooker Taco Dip has only 5 main ingredients but makes the best appetizer!

Chips, beef, nacho cheese, salsa, sour cream and refried beans in front of slow cooker.

I absolutely love game food, nachos, dips, hot wings etc. So when I discovered this recipe, I was in heaven! This recipe for slow cooker taco dip is AMAZING! Start by browning and seasoning your hamburger.

Then add these items to your slow cooker with the hamburger: refried beans, sour cream, salsa, and a jar of nacho cheese.

I make slow cooker taco dip when I need to bring a dish for a potluck. Then I know there will be something I like to eat at the potluck, that’s what is important, right?

I call this dip my one of every ingredient dip. I’ve made it so many times, I don’t have to look at the recipe! Have a great week!

      Do you think this could be made vegetarian…without the ground beef?

        you could probably sub out the ground beef for soy chorizo for a vegetarian option

        Maybe put black beans in it to substitute the ground beef?

      I do taco pack and I put sliced black olives in it too. My 4 yr old loves it. And the only other dip he will eat is ranch. So this is a big hit in our house. Great for any time of the year…

      I made a recipe a lot like this for work only mine didn’t call for the sour cream. I had misplaced my recipe, I made it so offten that I thought I remembered it. Well I didn’t, I added a packet of Taco seasoning that the original recipe didn’t call for. I made it with the seasoning and brought it to work. People wanted to know what I had done different. Now I got all the girls from work making it with Taco seasoning.

        So, you didn’t add the sour cream to it? And you added the taco seasoning packet as well as the other Ingredients? I like sour cream, but my husband does not..Maybe I could cut down on much I put into?

      I used spicy deer sausage instead of ground beef and cooked on stove top since I didn’t really have two hours to wait for crockpot. It turned out great.
