Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (from a tube)
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles, not drained
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
Slow Cooker Pepper Jack Beef Dip: Directions
- Get the slow cooker ready. If you want, spray the inside of your slow cooker with a little nonstick spray to make cleanup easier later. Place the tube of ground beef inside and gently break it apart with a spoon so it spreads out more evenly across the bottom.
- Add the tomatoes and seasoning. Spoon the diced tomatoes and green chiles over the top of the beef, spreading them out evenly. Then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix across the top in an even layer, making sure it isn’t just clumped in one spot.
- Layer in the cheeses. Place the cubed cream cheese and shredded pepper jack cheese right on top of everything else. Put the lid on and cook on LOW for about 2½ to 3 hours, or on HIGH for about 1½ to 2 hours. Stir the mixture once or twice while it cooks so nothing sticks or burns, and keep cooking until the beef is fully done and the cheese is melted all the way through.
- Stir until smooth. Take the lid off and stir everything together really well, breaking apart any big chunks of beef as you go. Keep stirring until the dip looks smooth, creamy, and evenly mixed. If it feels a little thick, put the lid back on and let it sit for a few extra minutes so it loosens up.
- Keep warm and serve. Switch your slow cooker to the WARM setting so the dip stays hot while you serve it. Bring it to the table with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted bread for dipping, and enjoy!
