How Long do I cook?

Place ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for about 2 hours or on high for 1 hour. Make sure to stir occasionally which helps to combine the melted ingredients.

How to Thin the Cheese Dip:

If you cheese dip is to thick, you can slowly add in milk. Adding milk helps to thin out the cheese dip consistency. The longer the cheese dip sets on warm in the slow cooker the thicker it will be.

Can you Make this on the Stovetop?

Yes, you can make this Rotel Dip on the Stove top over medium heat. The process is just as easy and cooks easily on the stove top.

Tips for Rotel Dip Recipe:

This dip is so easy to adapt to what your preference is. It is so easy and one of the best dips. I love that you can easily add or omit things if you prefer a really spicy dip or like things more mild. It is really easy to make to suit your taste.

  • Spicy Rotel – If you want the queso dip spicier, use two cans of Rotel. Rotel comes in medium and hot with green chiles, so I usually use one can of hot and one can mild.
  • Thinner Consistency – If you want your dip thinner, stir in ½ cup of milk. Slowly stir in until the consistency is what you want.
  • Salsa – If you don’t have any canned rotel, mix the cheese and meat with a jar of salsa.
  • Processed Cheese – We love the way Velveeta melts creamy, but if you prefer you can make this dip with a block of cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.

Crockpot Rotel dip recipe variations:

  • Add cream cheese with the velveeta
  • If you like it really spicy, add hot sauce.
  • Add a can of diced tomatoes with the rotel tomatoes
  • Try adding an extra can of green chilis for extra heat.
  • Use fire roasted tomatoes for another great flavor idea.
  • Use ground sausage instead of ground beef.

How do you serve Crock Pot Rotel Dip recipe?

We like to use tortilla chips to eat with this delicious dip. The kids really like the scoops because they can hold even more dip and they make it easier to eat.

You can also use corn chips or whatever you like. This is the best slow cooker rotel dip recipe and so creamy and delicious.

We love dip recipes and they just make everything more fun.

How to Store leftovers:

Place the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Place in the refrigerator to enjoy another day.

How to Reheat:

The cheesy dip will thicken as it sits in the refrigerator. You may need to add a little milk to thin out the rotel dip. You can reheat in the slow cooker or on the stove top.

  1. We love, love this cheese dip…however we used 1 lb breakfast sausage instead of hamburger. Also a friend of mine adds a little cumin to hers, I haven’t tried that yet but some folks might like that added.

  2. I actual make this with Jimmy Dean’s Spiccy Breakfast Sausage! I serve this with lime flavored Chips and Big Pretzel Rods. Everyone loves it and always wants the recipe!??????
