Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by preparing the ingredients. Cut the block of Velveeta cheese into chunks, dice the chili peppers, and open the cans of Rotel tomatoes & chilies and salsa.
-
Cooking: In a crock pot or slow cooker, add the chunks of Velveeta cheese.
-
Layering: Next, add the ground beef, diced chili peppers, Rotel tomatoes & chilies, and salsa into the crock pot with the cheese.
-
Cooking Process: Cook on high heat in the crock pot until the cheese is completely melted, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting. This typically takes about 45 minutes.
-
Keeping Warm: Once the cheese is melted, reduce the heat to low to keep the dip warm and maintain its creamy texture. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
-
Serving: Serve the Nacho Dip hot directly from the crock pot. It pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or crusty bread for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Cheese Consistency: Cutting the Velveeta cheese into chunks helps it melt evenly and smoothly.
- Stirring: Stirring the dip regularly during cooking and while keeping it warm ensures a consistent texture.
- Adjusting Heat: If the dip becomes too thick, you can add a splash of milk or cream to adjust the consistency to your liking.
