This creamy and flavorful Slow Cooker Queso Spinach Dip combines Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, crispy bacon, spinach, and Rotel tomatoes for a comforting and crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings. The slow cooker method allows the cheese to melt smoothly and flavors to meld together with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 32 oz. Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed

Vegetables

  • 10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 20 oz. Rotel tomatoes (two 10 oz. cans)

Meat

  • ½ lb. bacon, sliced and cooked

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze it thoroughly using a dish towel or paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible. This step prevents the dip from becoming watery.
  2. Add ingredients to slow cooker: Place the cubed Velveeta cheese, cubed cream cheese, drained spinach, cooked and sliced bacon, and the two cans of Rotel tomatoes into the slow cooker pot. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cook the dip: Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 2 hours. Stir the dip occasionally during cooking to ensure even melting and prevent sticking or burning on the edges.
  4. Serve and store: Once fully melted and mixed, serve the queso dip warm. If the dip thickens during serving, stir in a splash of milk to thin it to your desired consistency. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • If the dip thickens after sitting, adding a splash of milk will help thin it out.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • For more heat, add jalapenos, spicy Rotel tomatoes, or hot sauce gradually to your preferred spice level.
