This Slow Cooker Texas Trash Beef and Bean Dip is extremely creamy and hearty, makes for the best game day dip!
This Slow Cooker Texas Trash Beef and Bean Dip is a must try. I really don’t know why it is called Texas Trash, but my guess is that it is because it is filled with all the heavenly foods that we shouldn’t eat everyday! Most recipes for Texas Trash dip don’t have beef. I think beef is natural addition and makes this dip more into a meal.
I’ve made so many bean dips over the years, this one is very different. The cream cheese adds so much flavor and creaminess, and the flavor of the cream cheese helps the canned beans taste homemade.
I mix everything in my slow cooker, then wipe down the edges before cooking.
After 2 hours on high the dip looks like this (with some adding toppings).
Here is my YouTube video of the making of this dip. You can follow me on YouTube here.
The only thing I added to make this extra delicious was salsa on top of each serving on the plates. I found a new salsa at Walmart that is a must try if you love Tapatio hot sauce, it’s Tapatio Picante Sauce. Have a great weekend! I hope you try this recipe for game day!

February 1, 2017 at 8:34 amI’m going to do this in oven, my slow cooker is to deep to serve in. How long would I need to leave this in the oven an I assume at 350? Would there be any other changes? Also I’m going a trip no slow cooker where we are staying Thank you for your time and help.
