CrockPot Taco Dip Recipe
Day 83.
Nothing says Easter Sunday as much as a crockpot full of taco dip. Right?
Right?
If you're looking for a last-minute appetizer to bring for brunch, this is a winner---and chances are you already have everything you need on hand.
The Ingredients.
--a bit of ground meat (optional). I had two frostbitten hamburger patties leftover in the freezer under way too many packages of frozen edamame--packet of taco seasoning
--whatever cheese you have on hand--you'll need about 1 cup
--1 cup sour cream
--1 can refried beans
--1/2 can of black beans
--cilantro for garnish (I was so excited that I had some cilantro leftover from when I made this, but then I forgot to add it. oops.)
The Directions.
I used my mini crockpot for this. If you don't have a mini, you can place an oven-proof dish inside of the stoneware of your crockpot to create a smaller space.
--if you are using meat, brown it.
I wasn't kidding when I said that the meat I had was old and frostbitten...
--plug in your crockpot and turn it to high
--add your meat and the can of refried beans
--add 1 cup of sour cream
--mix in taco seasoning
--sprinkle the beans on top
--add shredded cheese
--cover and turn the heat down to low if you want to eat it in about 3 hours, or leave it on high if you'd like it done in 1-2 hours.
--everything is already cooked, so you just want the cheese nice and gooey
serve with your favorite chips. I used flax seed so I could pretend it was health food.
The Verdict.
Everyone liked what I was willing to share.

Hmmm if you are in the Oregonian, we might live close to each other. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Gorge, where are you???~G
congrats on your press! How exciting. I'm telling everyone I know with a crockpot to check you out!
ReplyDeletelolo and pooh
Congrats on being mentioned in the paper!!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks great and easy :-)
You are famous now! =)
ReplyDeleteActually you aren't supposed to put cilantro in anything until the end or right before serving anyway, so you are still good (if there are any leftovers, which I doubt)
you weren't kidding about the frost bite! Thought those were turkey burgers by the looks of them. Like the idea of a good hearty taco dip for watching some college hoops.
ReplyDeleteSteph, that is so cool that your blog was mentioned in that article!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
i thought everyone had taco dip on Easter! :)
ReplyDeleteyum yum!!
OK, OK, and I thought that *I* was a little too much of a crockpot lover. Or perhaps I'm just a crockpot. ;o) But you take the cake! Or, should I say, the dip.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I'll be checking out your other recipes. Thanks for sharing!
This. sounds. amazing.
