How long does it take to heat up queso in a crock pot?

You can make this Crock Post Queso in as little as an hour set to high or set to low if you want a longer cook time.

The meat can also be browned ahead of time and thrown in when you are ready.

To keep your cheese dip from burning, set the crockpot to the warm setting to keep it perfectly melty without overcooking it!

You can also top it with some chopped fresh cilantro or onion for extra flavor.

Adjusting the spice

If you really like your queso with a kick, you can use the spicy breakfast sausage or chorizo and the hot Rotel. Garnish it with fresh jalapenos or even add them to the crock pot.

I am a big fat baby, so we go mild all the way. Whether you spice it up or not, just make it!

FAQs

How do you reheat queso dip?

Store leftover cheese dip in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave, heating in 30 second intervals and stirring in between until heated through. I don't recommend reheating it in the slow cooker as it could linger at unsafe temperatures for too long during the heating process when heating from cold.

Can I use salsa instead of Rotel?

In a pinch you could substitute salsa for Rotel but it will affect the final flavor depending on what level spice and consistency salsa you use.

Serving suggestion

The standard of course is to serve this spicy queso with tortilla chips (I suggest at least two bags for one crock pot of cheese dip.)

If you are going low carb you could also use zucchini chips or serve with chopped veggies. There are certain tween boys in my house that have been known to just grab a spoon to scarf it down as well!

This dip would also be great on top of tacos, baked potatoes, or even fries!

Oh! and if you're serving a crowd, why not pair it with my nonalcoholic Margarita punch?
