Description
A creamy, cheesy dip perfect for gatherings, made with a blend of flavorful cheeses and zesty tomatoes in a convenient crockpot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 30 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 24 ounces whole fat evaporated milk
- 1 whole lime (juiced)
- 1 pound white American block-style cheese (cubed)
- 1 pound yellow American block-style cheese (cubed)
- 1 pound Velveeta Queso Blanco cheese (cubed)
- 7 ounces Supremo Mexican Blend cheese (shredded)
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 jalapeño peppers (seeded & diced)
- ½ yellow onion (diced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Spray a large crockpot with nonstick cooking spray and set the temperature to high.
- Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, evaporated milk, lime juice, cubed cheeses, and chopped cilantro; mix well to combine.
- Place the lid on top of the crockpot.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, diced onions, and jalapeños. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, and chili powder; cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
- Transfer the sautéed mixture to the crockpot and mix well until fully combined.
- Leave the lid slightly ajar and stir the cheese mixture every 15-20 minutes until melted, about 30 minutes.
- Once melted, lower the temperature to warm, stirring occasionally. If the dip thickens, add a splash of evaporated milk to return it to the desired consistency.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or your favorite crackers.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust jalapeños for desired spice level.
