Description

This Slow Cooker Queso Spinach Dip is a creamy, cheesy delight perfect for parties or a cozy snack. Combining Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, crispy bacon, spinach, and Rotel tomatoes, it offers a rich and flavorful dip that’s easy to prepare and warms beautifully in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 32 oz. Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed

Vegetables

  • 10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 20 oz. Rotel tomatoes (two 10 oz. cans)

Meat

  • ½ lb. bacon, sliced and cooked

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze it well to remove excess water. This ensures your dip doesn’t become watery.
  2. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the cubed Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, drained spinach, cooked bacon slices, and Rotel tomatoes into the slow cooker. Mix gently to combine.
  3. Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook the mixture for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to help the cheeses melt evenly and prevent sticking.
  4. Serve and Adjust Consistency: After cooking, if the dip thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Serve warm for best results.
  5. Storage: Pour leftover dip into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  6. Optional Heat Adjustment: For added spiciness, mix in jalapenos, spicy Rotel, or hot sauce gradually until the preferred heat level is reached.

Notes

  • If the dip thickens during serving, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid burning.
  • To increase spice, add jalapenos, spicy Rotel, or hot sauce incrementally to suit your heat preference.
