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), undrained
Meat
- ½ lb. bacon, sliced and cooked until crispy, then chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon. Cook the sliced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Combine ingredients in the slow cooker. In the slow cooker, add the cubed Velveeta cheese, cubed cream cheese, thawed and squeezed spinach, undrained Rotel tomatoes, and the chopped bacon.
- Cook the dip. Stir ingredients together gently to combine. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is creamy and heated through.
- Serve warm. Once melted and bubbly, give the dip a final stir and serve warm with tortilla chips, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the thawed spinach to avoid a watery dip.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add extra diced jalapeños or use spicy Rotel tomatoes.
- Slow cooker temperatures vary, so start checking the dip at 2 hours to prevent overcooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
