Why I Love This Cheesy Hamburger Dip
This dip is one that I’ve been making for years and still remains one of my favorites.
- SO easy. The only hands-on part of this recipe is browning the beef. From there, it’s a “dump and go” recipe. The crockpot does all of the work!
- Great flavor. Between the Velveeta, Rotel, jalapeño, and spices, there is absolutely no shortage of flavor in this dip. It definitely has a cheesy Tex-Mex vibe.
- Perfect for crowds. This recipe makes a decent amount of dip, and it can be served straight from the crockpot. I love serving it for holiday parties, game day, and any other time I’m serving a large group. It’s always a hit.
Recipe Ingredients
This cheesy dip is made with just 5 primary ingredients. The exact measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
- Ground beef – I prefer to use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease. Ground turkey will also work.
- Velveeta – Adds the smooth, creamy, and cheesy texture. Cube it so that it melts easily and evenly.
- Rotel tomatoes – Rotel adds a bit of heat and flavor to the dip.
- Cream of mushroom soup – Cream of chicken can also be used.
- Jalapeño – For added heat and flavor.
- Spices – Chili powder & garlic powder.
How To Make Hamburger Dip
The slow cooker does most of the work in this recipe, which I love. The printable version of the instructions can be found in the slow cooker.
- Cook the beef. Brown and crumble the beef. Season with chili powder and garlic powder. Drain any excess grease.
- Combine the ingredients. Combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cook. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Can I Make This On The Stovetop?
Yes! If you don’t want to use the crock pot (or don’t have one), this cheesy hamburger dip can also be made on the stovetop. A cast iron skillet is perfect for this. After browning the ground beef, transfer it to a separate pan. Add all of the other ingredients and heat over medium-low, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is very smooth and creamy.
