Slow Cooker Rotel Cheese Dip
Dips are perfect for serving at parties, pot lucks, after school snacks, or for an appetizer to snack on while you make dinner. I like making this cheese dip in the slow cooker because once it is done, you just turn the crockpot to warm, and the dip will keep for hours. This is perfect for setting out at a party!
If you are short on time and do not have a couple of hours to make the dip in the slow cooker, I have also included the directions for making this dip in the oven and on the stovetop.
Rotel Cheese Dip is a creamy, cheesy dip with just enough spicy heat in each bite. The dip comes together by melting the cream cheese, Velveeta, spices, Rotel tomatoes, and sausage in a slow cooker.
It pairs perfectly with a tortilla chip, but just about anything goes. Set out pita chips, crackers, veggies, or bagel chips, and they will all be delicious.
Make this Rotel Cheese Dip for your next crowd-pleasing appetizer, and watch it disappear as everyone dips away at it!
How do you melt Velveeta cheese with Rotel?
Cut the Velveeta cheese block into cubes and place them in the slow cooker with the other ingredients. The cheese will melt during the two hours that it will cook in the slow cooker.
How do you keep Velveeta cheese dip creamy?
Velveeta cheese does harden as it cools down after cooking. This is another reason why I love making this dip in a slow cooker. Keeping the setting on warm for serving will keep the dip smooth and creamy throughout the night.
How long does Velveeta and Rotel dip last?
This Sausage and Rotel Cheese Dip will stay fresh in the fridge for up to four days. Store it in an airtight container to help it stay fresh. Then warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop when ready to serve again.
