How to Make Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Dip
Now, for the fun part! Making this dip is a breeze, and you’ll barely break a sweat. Here’s how to do it:
- Start by loading up your slow cooker. Toss the bell peppers, onion, chopped roast beef, white American cheese, salsa con queso, cream cheese, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce into your slow cooker. Don’t be shy, just dump it all in there!
- Give it a good stir. Mix everything together, ensuring the cream cheese gets nice and melted into the other ingredients. You want it all to come together into one cheesy, savory masterpiece.
- Set your slow cooker to cook. If you’re in a rush, set it to high and let it cook for about 2 to 3 hours. If you have more time on your hands, set it to low for 5 to 6 hours. Either way, the magic will happen, and your house will smell amazing.
- Taste and adjust. Once it’s done cooking, give the dip a taste. Add a little salt and pepper to bring the flavors together, depending on your taste preference.
- Serve with sliced baguette. Once it’s done, scoop that creamy goodness onto a platter with warm, crispy baguette slices for dipping. (I highly recommend using a baguette—it’s the perfect texture to soak up all that cheesy goodness!)
Helpful Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Dip
- Don’t stress over the texture. If your dip looks a little lumpy, don’t worry—it’s just part of the magic. Those little chunks of cream cheese melt into the dip, creating a creamy, dreamy consistency that’s just right.
- Add a little kick. If you like your dip with a little extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. It’ll give the dip a nice spicy edge.
- Make it ahead. This dip is great for meal prepping. Just assemble it in your slow cooker the night before, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to cook, just plug it in and go. It’s as simple as that!
