We love, love, love this version of sausage queso dip in the crock pot. And our family loves it too. It’s actually a unique version because it has cream cheese along with Velveeta.
Crock Pot Queso with Cream Cheese
Queso with cream cheese has a creamy texture, plus it has double the cheese. More is always better when it comes to cheese. If you have a little more Velveeta or a little more cream cheese that needs used up, go ahead and toss it into the crock pot. This recipe is flexible.
This particular Velveeta Queso recipe is a small batch version, perfect for when you just need enough for one family. We use a small crock pot for these nights.
The good thing is that this recipe is also easily doubled for those days you do want to feed a crowd.
Sometimes, Barbara makes this Crock Pot Sausage Queso Dip as a main course on the weekend. It is a great option for a Sunday evening football game or during the college basketball championship month.
Since this recipe is for a smaller portion of this yummy dip, feel free to double it for a larger crowd. Making sausage queso with Velveeta in the Slow Cooker makes it simple to make large portions.

- Cut the half pound of Velveeta into large chunks before adding it to the crock pot.
- Dump in the cream cheese and can of Rotel tomatoes and green chiles; there’s no need to drain off any of the liquid.

- Just give it a good stir and serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
