Step-by-Step Instructions: Making Your Slow Cooker Hamburger Dip

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create a dip that’s sure to disappear fast:

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Stir occasionally to break up the meat and ensure even cooking. Once done, drain any excess grease to keep the dip from being too oily.

Step 2: Transfer to the Slow Cooker

Load up the slow cooker: Transfer the cooked beef mixture to your slow cooker. This is where all the magic happens—slow and steady.

Step 3: Add the Cheese and Tomatoes

Cheese it up: Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (including the juice) to the slow cooker.
