Customize Your Crockpot Taco Dip
The sky is the limit with this dip! Dress it up or down with your favorite ingredients and flavors. Here are a few options that I like to do, to mix things up a bit:
- Optional Garnishes: green onion, cilantro, diced tomatoes, olives, sliced jalapenos
- Make your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Substitute Monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese for Colby-Jack.
- Substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
- Substitute ground turkey, sausage, or chorizo (a type of Spanish/Portuguese sausage) for the ground beef.
- Add canned chopped jalapeños for added flavor and heat.
Recipe Tip
You can add the cream cheese and all of the shredded cheese at the beginning. However, I think it comes out more smooth (and less grainy) if you add the cheeses in at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
Classic taco dip is typically made with sour cream and taco seasoning. This crockpot taco dip recipe takes it to the next level!
If your crockpot doesn’t have a hole in the lid to release air, then the condensation might build up and drip into the dip. To prevent this, place a dish towel under the lid of the crock pot to catch the condensation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for about a week.

I added a 10oz can of red enchilada sauce and didn’t use refried beans and it was great. I feel like it would have been good with the beans too but had someone who doesn’t like them so left them out.
So easy and delicious! It had the perfect amount of heat, and everyone was gathered around the table scooping it up. The only bad part was that I didn’t have any leftovers. 🙂
Delicious! I used cheddar because I had that already and it was a huge hit!
I added this to our charcuterie board and it was one of the crowd’s fav! It is so creamy and rich. Must-try!
