1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Grease the bottom and sides of a 4-quart slow cooker with a little oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese until well blended.

Add the Flavors: Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies (with their juices), taco seasoning, and cooked ground beef or turkey, if using. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Transfer to Slow Cooker: Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.

Cook: Cover with the lid and set the slow cooker to low. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the dip is bubbly and heated through. Stir occasionally during the cooking process.

Serve: Once done, remove the lid and let it cool slightly. Top with sliced black olives and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.

Enjoy: Dive in and enjoy your creamy, cheesy, flavorful taco dip with friends and family!
