  • 1 pound of processed cheese, cubed (like Velveeta)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • ½ cup milk (more if needed)
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped cilantro or sliced jalapeños (optional garnish)

Instructions

To begin, layer your slow cooker with cooking spray or a light drizzle of oil to prevent any sticking. Next, add the cubed processed cheese, shredded pepper jack, and diced tomatoes with chilies. Pour in your milk, which helps keep the dip creamy. Then, stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Set your slow cooker to low heat and cover it. Let the ingredients melt together for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to help combine everything evenly. If your dip seems too thick, add a splash or two of milk until you reach your desired consistency. Once the cheese has fully melted, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting so your guests can enjoy the dip at its best texture.

Before serving, top it all off with a handful of chopped cilantro or slices of fresh jalapeño if you like a little extra kick. Offer plenty of crunchy tortilla chips or veggie sticks alongside for dipping.
