A creamy, crowd-pleasing queso blanco dip made easy in the crockpot with seasoned ground beef, perfect for game day or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 16 oz (450g) white American cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz (225g) Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 4 oz (115g) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: 1 small fresh jalapeño, minced

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat (about 5 minutes). Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat carefully.
  2. Stir in onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to let the spices bloom.
  3. Turn your slow cooker to low heat.
  4. Add cubed white American cheese, cubed Velveeta, and heavy cream into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Add the seasoned ground beef and diced green chiles to the crockpot mixture. Stir carefully to distribute evenly.
  6. Add minced garlic and optional minced jalapeño. Stir again.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2½ hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent sticking. The dip should be smooth and creamy with all cheeses fully melted and blended.
  8. Before serving, taste and adjust salt, pepper, or spice levels. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top for garnish.

Notes

Stir every 20-30 minutes during cooking to prevent cheese from sticking and ensure smooth texture. Drain cooked ground beef well to avoid greasy dip. For a thinner dip, add a splash of milk or extra cream before serving. Can be made vegetarian by substituting ground beef with black beans or crumbled tofu seasoned with taco spices. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently with added milk or cream to restore creaminess.
