Chili Con Queso

Cheesy, chili con queso is an all-time favorite comfort food. The creaminess of the cheese, the richness of the meat and the heat from the salsa, make it the perfect party dip! Kids and adults alike love it.

This recipe really is so easy, just three ingredients plus chips for serving. Dump the cheese and salsa in the slow cooker, add the browned meat, and cook until bubbly.

This is my favorite crockpot because it’s affordable, has a warm setting, and an elastic band that secures the lid. It’s also on sale!

If you’re in the market for a “fancy” one I like this digital crockpot. I have this 3-quart crockpot and I love it. I use it for smaller dips and appetizers, plus it’s pretty!

Cuisine American
Servings 8

Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground beef, browned
  • 1 jar salsa of your choice (I like to use a restaurant or picante-style salsa, but a chunky salsa or pico de gallo works fine)
  • 1 32 oz. block of Velveeta cheese (I use about 3/4 of the block, but use as much or as little as you like)
  • Tortilla chips for serving (we prefer Scoops)

Instructions
 

  • Put the cheese and salsa in the crock pot and turn to high.
  • While the cheese is starting to melt, brown the beef in a pan on the stove top. Drain and add the browned meat it to the crockpot.
  • Mix everything together and stir occasionally as the cheese continues to melt. I set my crockpot on high to get it going and then reduce it to warm once it’s bubbling.
  • Serve with chips and garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, jalapenos or any toppings you like.

Variations:

  • If you don’t like Velveeta, you can sub it out for 1 to 2, 8oz. blocks of cream cheese.
  • Instead of salsa, you can use an equivalent amount of diced tomatoes with green chilies like Rotel.
  • Need a cozy dinner? Make it a meal by serving over rice and top with green onions.
  • Want a completely different twist? Swap the ground beef for sausage, sub Rotel for the jar of salsa, and use a block of cream cheese instead of Velveeta. This makes a slightly less amount so I serve it in my small crockpot.

This slow-cooker chili con queso dip is a no-fail crowd pleaser. The best part is the leftovers. This recipe is as good, if not better, heated up the next day. Store in an airtight container, heat, and serve. If it is a little too thick, add a few splashes of lime juice and stir.
