Crock Pot Texas Trash Dip Recipe
This creamy Crock Pot Texas Trash Dip Recipe blends refried beans, cream cheese, taco seasoning, and melted cheese for an easy party dip everyone loves.
Equipment
- 1 medium or large Crock Pot (3–6 quart is perfect)
- Mixing bowl (optional, you can mix right in the crock pot)
- Rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Cheese grater (if shredding your own cheese—which I highly recommend)
- Serving bowl (or just let guests scoop it straight from the crock pot)
Ingredients
- 2 cans 16 oz each refried beans
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp homemade
- 1 can 4 oz diced green chiles
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack
- 1 –2 tbsp hot sauce optional
- 1 small can jalapeños diced (optional)
- Chopped cilantro for topping optional
- Sliced green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
Prep the Crock Pot
- Spray it lightly with cooking spray or rub a tiny bit of oil inside so the dip doesn’t cling for dear life.
Combine Your Ingredients
- You can mix everything inside the crock pot or in a large bowl before adding. Combine:
- refried beans
- cream cheese
- sour cream
- taco seasoning
- diced green chiles
- half of the cheese
- Don’t worry if it looks messy—Texas Trash Dip is supposed to be messy.
Turn on the Crock Pot
- Cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or HIGH for 1–1.5 hours, stirring occasionally until it’s creamy, smooth, and melty.
Add More Cheese
- Once everything melts together, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover again, and let it melt for another 10–15 minutes.
Serve Warm
- You can keep the crockpot on Warm during your event so the dip stays scoopable. Add toppings like:
- jalapeños
- cilantro
- sliced scallions
- diced tomatoes
