Description

I know everyone has heard of the sausage and Rotel dip, but I first heard of it on The Crockpot Lady’s blog, where she calls it “Mommy Crack.” I threw this all in the mini crock one day, and we ate it for dinner with tortilla chips. My fiance asked, “So, what is this? Taco crack? Whatever it’s called, it’s good.” This is a great recipe to use up salsa or enchilada sauce you have left over.

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Ground Beef
  • 2 teaspoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 block (8 Oz. Block) Cream Cheese, May Be Low Fat
  • ½ cups Enchilada Sauce
  • ½ cups Salsa

Preparation

Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning as it cooks. Drop cream cheese in the crock pot, and add enchilada sauce and salsa. If you don’ t quite have enough of one, add extra of the other. As long as it totals about a cup, you should be fine.

When the meat is brown, drain and add to the crock. I used my mini crock, which only has one setting, and it took about 2 hours. Otherwise, cook on high for 1 hour and then stir, then let cook for another 30-45 minutes until hot and bubbling.

Serve with tortilla chips.

This is SO good! Cudos to the chief! I made it for NYE and for the big NFL playoff game and the reviews were unbelievable! So easy, so good, so perfect! I used medium enchilada sauce and really like the little kick it gives it. This is going to be my new “go to” recipe for parties now! Thank you!!!

This was gone in about 20 minutes. Kids and hubs both loved it! I made it on the stove in a skillet.

Super good and easy! My husband loves a chili con queso dip from one of our favorite restaurants and he said this was MUCH better! This will be an appetizer staple!

Sooooo yummy! I made it as an appetizer for Thanksgiving football viewing and it was a hit with all the ages. I quadrupled the recipe and used my 4 qt crockpot and it fit perfectly. I served with tortilla chips, Fritos Scoops, and french bread slices. Mmmmmmmm. Thanks so much!

Wow, this is addictive! I could not imagine why this seemingly simple Mexican dip was getting such rave reviews. I decided to give it a try when we were having a dinner party last night. I ran to Target and purchased a 1.5 qt. mini crockpot (mine is 4 qts…way too big) for $15. When I was browning the beef, I threw the remaining ingredients into the crockpot. The whole process from starting the recipe to the crockpot was 10 minutes. Every 30 minutes, I would give it a quick stir to help the cream cheese incorporate into the dip. I cooked it on low for 2 hours, but it was just fine at 90 minutes. Served it with tortilla chips, and it was amazing! I love recipes like this!
