Instructions
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the cooked beef to your slow cooker.
Top with the cream cheese (cubed for faster melting), Velveeta (cubed as well), salsa, minced jalapeño, and taco seasoning.
Stir everything gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring once or twice. The cheeses should melt and blend into a rich, creamy mixture.
Once fully melted and hot, give it a final stir. Taste and add extra chopped jalapeños or salsa if desired.
Serve warm directly from the slow cooker. Keep on the “warm” setting for serving, stirring occasionally.
Notes
For extra flavor, try using spicy taco seasoning or add a dash of smoked paprika. This dip is great with tortilla chips, baked potatoes, or as a nacho topping.
