A quick and easy cheesy taco dip made in a crockpot, perfect for parties and gatherings. This creamy, spicy dip pairs wonderfully with crunchy Doritos for a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: 1-2 sliced jalapeños
  • Doritos, original flavor, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the cooked ground beef, taco seasoning, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and optional sliced jalapeños. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the crockpot insert and spread evenly. Set the crockpot to low heat and cover.
  5. Cook for 1-2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to help the cheese melt smoothly and prevent sticking.
  6. Once bubbly and hot throughout, switch the crockpot to the warm setting to keep the dip ready for serving.
  7. Serve warm directly from the crockpot with a bowl of Doritos on the side.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth blending. Stir regularly during cooking to prevent cheese from burning or separating. For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with black beans or cooked lentils. If dip is too thick, stir in a splash of milk or sour cream. Adding extra shredded cheese in the last 10 minutes makes it extra gooey.
