ULTIMATE SLOW COOKER TACO DIP

Perfect for game day or a fun appetizer night, this slow cooker taco dip is positively loaded with great taco flavors.  I use my homemade taco seasoning blend, but you can use a packet if you prefer.  Make it for your next party and watch it disappear!

You guys.  I just realized there is a HUGE empty spot here on The Chunky Chef.  I don’t have nearly enough taco recipes!!! I love tacos… as in, I could literally eat them everyday and never get bored.  So I should have tons of them here on the blog, and yet I don’t.  Shame on me.

I think it’s honestly because tacos can be tricky to photograph, but still… mark my words, you will see a few more taco recipes here over the next 11 months!

Until then, you’ll have to make do with this incredibly tasty slow cooker taco DIP.  Let me tell you, it’s as tasty as your favorite tacos.  Plus, this recipe calls for just 10 minutes of prep!  I normally chop my veggies as my meat is browning in the pan, so if you don’t like to multitask with prep, it may take you 15 minutes… but after that, it’s nearly completely hands-off!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb ground beef (I use 80/20)
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1/2 cup reduced sodium beef broth
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 3 Tbsp homemade taco seasoning
• 2 (10oz each) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, about half the liquid drained (I use the mild variety)
• 1-2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

GARNISHES:

• sliced black olives
• diced tomatoes
• minced fresh cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat a large skillet over MED-HIGH heat and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil.  Add ground beef and cook 3-4 minutes, crumbling as you cook, until mostly browned.  Add in diced onion, poblano and jalapeño and cook about 2-3 minutes, until soft.  Drain grease.
2. To a 3-4 quart slow cooker, add cooked beef mixture, beef broth, cornstarch, taco seasoning, and diced tomatoes with green chiles.  Stir to combine well.
