Easy crowd pleasing crock pot bean dip recipe. A delicious appetizer with tortilla chips, or filling for making enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and more! Just throw in all of the ingredients and let the slow cooker do its magic.
I first made this crock pot bean dip a few weeks ago and immediately knew if was a winner.
Simple to make, only a few ingredients, little prep work, and most importantly it tastes AMAZING!
While I love a good sour cream chip dip or veggie dip, this bean dip was a fun change in appetizer! It definitely rivals my creamy spinach dip with how delicious it was.
The first time I made it, we served it as an appetizer dip at a family gathering and the whole crock pot was gone by the time it was over.
I love making cream cheese bean dip in the oven, but this version is so simple because I can just throw it all in the crock pot and forget about it.
This week I’ve been loving it as a filling for burritos and a topping for homemade nachos!
It’s such a versatile recipe and can be used for all kinds of mexican themed meals.

The prep work couldn’t be any easier, as it’s basically just measure and dump into the crock pot to do all the work for you!

This recipe is full of flavor, but not spicy, making it great for everyone even kids!
If you like a spicier dip, you can use spicy salsa and add in some cayenne or paprika for extra heat.
A few diced up jarred jalapenos would really kick it up a notch too.
What kind of cheese to use in bean dip
The recipe calls for pre shredded mexican cheese (I love the convenience factor), but you can mix it up and use freshly grated colby jack or monterey jack.
How to tell when crock pot bean dip is done
The crock pot bean dip will cook on high for around an hour to an hour and a half, and all you need to do is stir it occasionally.
You will know it’s done when it is all hot and bubbly and the cheese is totally melted.
Serve as a stand alone with tortilla chips, and use up the leftovers for any of your favorite mexican night favorite dishes!

Made this dip today. I substituted one jalapeño for the green Chile’s. It is one of the best bean dips I have ever had. I will make this again and again!

@Joy Shull, I just put this together and I'll refrigerate it so I can heat it up tomorrow, but I did sneak a scoopful and put it in the microwave for a quick taste test. Wow! This is honestly the best dip for tortilla chips I've ever tasted. This will become my go-to when it comes to appetizers. Yummy!
