A creamy, slow-cooked queso dip made with a blend of cheeses, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños, perfect for easy entertaining and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 oz)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Soften cream cheese by leaving it out for about 30 minutes before starting. Dice jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), mince garlic, and drain diced tomatoes slightly to avoid excess liquid.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cubed Velveeta, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour in milk and stir gently until mostly combined; it will look chunky but that’s okay.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes with green chilies, chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the cheese mixture into the crockpot and cover with the lid.
  5. Set crockpot to low and cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent sticking and encourage even melting. The dip is ready when cheese is completely melted and creamy.
  6. Give one last stir and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced veggies, or warm pita bread.

Notes

Stir every 30 minutes during cooking to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture. If dip thickens after sitting, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Avoid high heat to prevent cheese separation. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and Velveeta with vegan alternatives and use plant-based milk.
