This Slow Cooker Taco Dip has only five main ingredients and makes the creamiest dip you will ever try! It’s great for game day or any party. It’s not a thick Velveeta dip; it’s a much smoother texture and taste.

I 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. If you are looking for a Velveeta dip, try my Slow Cooker Rotel Dip with Beef, or my nacho cheese sauce.

Why this recipe works

A friend of mine gave me this recipe for crockpot taco dip. It’s not like any other Mexican dip you will try. The combination of ingredients is silky smooth, not sticky thick like a Velveeta dip. 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!

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, which is essential.

Recipe Ingredients

• Ground Beef – Cooked and crumbled with salt and pepper added. You can add onion powder, garlic powder or chili powder if desired.
• Refried Beans – Not usually in Mexican cheese dips, but this thickens the dip and gives it even more Mexican flare.
• Sour Cream – Mellows out the enitre flavor of the dip.
• Nacho Cheese Dip – Find this nacho cheese dip (salsa con queso) on the chip aisle of the store. This is great for a dip like this since it’s already thinned out.
• Salsa – Use your favorite salsa here, I often use mild and serve jalapenos on the side for those who like spicy.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Brown the ground beef in a skillet on the stovetop. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can add garlic powder and onion powder if desired. Or even chili powder.

Step Two – Add the cooked meat to the slow cooker. Add the salsa, sour cream, refried beans, and nacho cheese sauce. Stir.

Step Three – Place the lid on the slow cooker—Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or until hot and bubbly.

Variations and Mix ins

• Taco Seasoning – Add taco seasoning to the ground beef instead of salt and pepper. Or you can make your own taco mix blend with chili powder, cumin, onion powder and garlic powder.
• Cheddar cheese – Don’t want to use nacho cheese? Use two cups of freshly shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese instead.
• Cream cheese – For a more decadent dip, add softened cream cheese instead of sour cream. It will melt into the dip as it heats up.
• Spicy – If everyone at your party loves spicy, chop 1-2 jalapenos and leave and don’t remove the seeds. Or you can add two small cans of fire roasted chiles.

How to serve

• Serve as a dip with tortilla chips on the side
• Serve crockpot taco dip as nachos instead! Pour the taco mixture over chips, and eat like nachos.
• Top with your dip on your plate with a combonation of shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, green peppers, green onions, diced tomatoes and jalapeno slices. (Though this dip needs nothing extra, its GREAT as it).
