Game day is right around the corner and we are getting ready to enjoy the game with friends and family. But, let’s be real I’m only attending the party for the food and commercials plus it’s a great excuse to get together with my friends.
This Slow Cooker Hamburger Cheese Dip will bring you all the flavors of a cheesy delicious burger without all the mess and time it takes to prepare them. It takes less than 20 mins of prep time and then you can kick back and watch the game while it simmers away! Don’t forget to give it a little stir during bathroom breaks though!
For dipping I would recommend using a shell or bowl type of chip. But, if you want to get fancy you could even put a little garlic powder, butter and parsley on a hamburger bun and toast it. Then cut it into strips and eat it with that. It may get a little messy though!
This Slow Cooker Hamburger Cheese Dip is simple to make and doesn’t take much effort at all. My favorite kind of recipe! All you need to do is brown some ground beef in a skillet with garlic powder and chili powder until no longer pink. Then you will drain off the grease. Cube the Velveeta into one inch cubes and add all the ingredients into your slow cooker to simmer and mingle away! It takes about two hours all together for the flavors to mingle and get along with one another. And, I recommend stirring a few times just to make sure that all the cheesy goodness gets mixed in well! We don’t want to waste any of that golden deliciousness.
Want to get really fancy with this Slow Cooker Hamburger Cheese Dip? Try dipping meatballs in it! Yep, that’s right I said meatballs! You can’t go wrong with feeding your game day crowd with a meatball dipped in this cheesy deliciousness! One of my favorite nights of the year to serve this dip is on New Years Eve. I love that the slow cooker keeps the dip from cooling down, which in turn allows us on to snack on the dip all night while we try to fight back the heavy eye lids. I mean this dip alone is worth staying up to midnight for!
Choose the spice level that works for your crowd:
- Mild: Use Mild Rotel and skip the extra peppers.
- Medium: Use Original Rotel and keep the diced jalapeño.
- Hot: Use Hot Rotel, add another can of diced green chiles, and stir in cayenne pepper to taste.
Go out and grab your favorite 12 pack, kick back, and watch the game with this cheesy, delicious Crockpot Hamburger Cheese Dip! Don’t forget to come back and let me know what you think!
Common Questions
Yes. Brown the ground beef and assemble the ingredients in the slow cooker insert up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then cook as directed; allow a little extra time for the chilled ingredients to heat through.
A similar processed melting cheese will give you the closest smooth texture. Shredded cheddar alone may become grainy, so melt it gently with a little cream cheese or evaporated milk.
After it is fully cooked, switch the slow cooker to Warm and stir occasionally. It will stay creamy and ready for dipping throughout your party; refrigerate leftovers promptly after serving.
