Slow Cooker Tomato Cheese Dip is a creamy easy to make dip that uses fresh tomatoes, peppers and Velveeta cheese! This simple homemade recipe is ready in 2 hours in the slow cooker and perfect to serve with tortilla chips for your next party! We especially love this dip for Mexican meals! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mission®. All opinions are entirely my own.
We just planted our tomato plants last weekend and already I’m dreaming up tomato recipes to make in a few months. Remember I said we were going to plant less tomatoes to make the garden easier on us this year (hi baby! arriving soon!)? Well we didn’t. We’re going to have a whole lot of tomato plants, so I got to thinking about my Creamy Cherry Tomato Sauce and how I could use that method to create a slow cooker tomato recipe.
For this delicious dip recipe, we’re throwing fresh tomatoes, sweet peppers, salt and pepper in the slow cooker and then adding in cheddar cheese to make it extra creamy. This is the perfect summer dip recipe because it’s easy to make, uses fresh vegetables and tastes delicious dipping tortilla chips into!
What I really love about this recipe is that it tastes so fresh because you’re using real fresh ingredients. Summer time is the perfect time to pick garden ripe tomatoes, the sweetest peppers and a few jalapeno peppers to slice and garnish on top. Besides the cheese, I can grab all these ingredients straight from the garden and throw them right into the slow cooker!
Do you know about Mission Organics® Tortilla Chips? Their White Corn tortilla chips are my favorite, especially to serve with this creamy, freshly made dip! I love their tortilla chips because they are USDA organic certified and Non-GMO project verified.
They just released Yellow Corn and Multigrain varieties which are excellent choices too. I bought my tortilla chips at Fulton Market but head on over to their website to find their store locator and for more great recipes!
In just 2.5 hours, you’ll have a creamy cheesy tomato dip that everyone is going to love! Grab a bag of Mission Organics White Corn Tortilla Chips and dive in!
Enjoy!

This sounds so delightful Pamela. Tomato dip makes me think of my gran. She would always bring it to a party and it’s been a favorite of mine since then. I can’t wait to try yours, it really sounds delicious

This looks delish! I’m not a good cook, but I might be able to pull this off. I’ve been looking for a good recipe for tomato soup. Reminds me of tomato bisque at Zupa’s.

I NEED a slow cooker. It’s about the only kitchen gadget that I haven’t currently got, and I can imagine how delicious this recipe would be!
Also I NEED to do something with my garden. Seriously, I’m inspired by what you get from yours!

Haha – Pamela I couldn’t help ;laughing at the fact that y’all didn’t go easy on y’alls planting – even with baby almost here! I, for one, cannot wait to see y’alls bounty – and baby! But now onto this dip – wow – I decided not to plant anything this year as my daughter is college bound and am regretting it after looking at this dip – fantastic, my friend! Thanks for sharing it!
