I received free products from Red Gold Tomatoes in exchange for this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
Slow cooker chili cheese dip is so easy to make and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. The ingredients are simple and it’s super tasty!
Recently, Red Gold Tomatoes emailed me about a possible television appearance. Sadly, that didn’t work out, but I was pretty excited when I heard back from them about receiving some of their products in exchange for featuring them in some slow cooker recipes here on Chattavore. The great news for you is that Red Gold Tomatoes is currently giving away 2 Crock-Pots a day! Go here to register: http://www.facebook.com/RedGold/app_849555841737112
The canned tomatoes couldn’t have come at a better time. Fall is a perfect time to pull out the slow cooker for long-simmered soups, stews, etc., etc…..but honestly, I can’t think of anything better to make in the Crock-Pot than a great dip. For most, football season provides the perfect excuse for snacking and dipping, but I’ll be perfectly honest with you: I don’t need an excuse for snacking or dipping. Dips are one of my favorite things to eat and I’m always happy to make a dip and call it dinner, which is exactly what happened here.
I didn’t admit this to you guys before, but when I wrote my Top Ten Game Day Recipes post I didn’t fess up to what my favorite game day snack is. While I do love a good Buffalo chicken dip (far and away the favorite of my Facebook followers), cheese dip is the one that I can’t resist. Whether it’s cheese fondue, spicy tomato and cheese dip made with Velveeta (yup, gotta love some Velveeta, though I will forever be emotionally scarred by the time I ate some soup with Velveeta in it and broke out in terrible hives), or the creamy white queso dip served at Mexican restaurants, if it’s cheesy and I can dip a chip (or pretzel, cracker, or raw vegetable) in it I’m all over it. I routinely go to a Mexican restaurant that isn’t my favorite Mexican restaurant because I find their cheese dip more irresistible than what is served at my actual favorite. Am I weird?
My slow cooker chili cheese dip is simple, quick, and substantial and made from scratch! Seasoned ground beef, homemade cheese sauce, and Red Gold tomatoes with chilies make a perfect snack or a lazy weeknight dinner. I cooked the ground beef the night before, whisked up the cheese sauce when I got home, and let everything mingle in the slow cooker while I got my treadmill on. Nothing easier!
Make this slow cooker chili cheese dip for your next party…or do like I do and just make it for dinner!
