Hi friends! It’s Amy from A Cup Full of Sass. Today I am sharing a great Crockpot Nacho Cheese Dip recipe you can make in your slow cooker. Who doesn’t love slow cooker recipes? The nacho cheese sauce is also great for a DIY Nacho or Taco Bar!
I don’t know about you, but when I am getting ready to have a crowd of people over for a football game, summer party, holiday or whenever really, I always seem to leave my appetizers until the last minute!
Funny isn’t it… the appetizers are the first thing we serve, but the last thing I think about when I am planning. What I really love about this crockpot nacho cheese dip recipe is that I can make it hours in advance, and it will be ready when my guests arrive.
I don’t have to plan room in the oven or be messing with it while people are coming through the door – it is in and cooking and ready to go when everyone gets here!

The best way to keep your nacho dip warm is to keep it on low in the crockpot! Just give it a stir every so often. The best part is you have one less serving bowl to clean!
The possibilities are endless with what you can dip into nacho cheese! Some of our favorites are tortilla chips, crackers, vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower and broccoli. It is also great to serve with our Sheet Pan Tacos and our Chicken Fajita Quesadilla!

Not a velveeta cheese fan, could another cheese be substituted?
Vivian, I would say No. Velvetta becomes very creamy when it melts.
Can I make this in the Instant Pot?
How many ounces on the Velveta?
Why so long? I only cooked it until the cheese melts.
