Description

Turn your next gathering into a flavor fiesta with these Crockpot Creamy Nachos! This easy-to-make recipe features tender chicken, zesty Rotel, and gooey melted cheddar cheese in a creamy base that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Perfect as a dip or over crispy tortilla chips, it’s a no-fail crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

  • 20 oz cream of chicken soup (2 cans)
  • 10 oz black beans, drained (optional)
  • 14 oz Rotel (mild, medium, or hot, as per your preference)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:
    Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. Drain the black beans thoroughly if you’re including them.
  • Layer in the Crockpot:
    Add the diced chicken breasts to the bottom of your crockpot. Pour the cream of chicken soup on top, spreading it evenly to coat the chicken. Add the Rotel and black beans (if using), then stir gently to combine.
  • Top with Cheese:
    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Avoid stirring the cheese into the ingredients—it will melt on top as it cooks.
  • Cook to Perfection:
    Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4–5 hours or high heat for 2–3 hours.
  • Mix and Season:
    Once the cooking time is complete, stir everything together to create a creamy, cheesy mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
    Spoon the creamy nacho mixture over tortilla chips or serve it as a warm dip with chips on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can add a dash of chili powder or taco seasoning to the chicken for a flavor boost.
  • For a spicier version, use hot Rotel or mix in chopped jalapeños.
  • To keep tortilla chips from getting soggy, serve the creamy mixture and chips separately.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Indulge in this rich, cheesy Crockpot Creamy Nachos recipe that guarantees happiness in every bite! Perfect for casual gatherings, game nights, or a cozy family meal.
