Assembling the Ingredients
Next, it’s time to put everything together and get started. You’ll want to brown the ground beef on a skillet over medium-high heat. After you do this, make sure you drain the fat. Once you have done this, place the beef in the crockpot. Then, cube the Velveeta and place it on top of the beef.
Pour the can of tomatoes over the mixture and sprinkle in the garlic powder. Remember to stir the mixture until it is combined well. Lastly, secure the lid over the slow cooker.
You should cook it on high for at least two hours. Ensure that the cheese has melted and the dip is hot to your liking. As you start to serve the dip, keep the cooker warm, so the dip doesn’t start to get cool. You can then enjoy this amazing dip while you watch the big game.
Watching sports on TV needs to include some delicious food. Make this dip at your next viewing party with family and friends.
