From tailgating or to backyard BBQs, this slow cooker Doritos dip is sure to be a hit. But the best part about this easy recipe is that it’s naturally gluten free!

But I know what you’re thinking — Doritos don’t need dip! They’re already packed with flavor! I thought the same thing until I tried this delicious combination. The nacho cheese flavored Doritos pair perfectly with the creamy cheese and slightly spicy green chile peppers.

What is in Doritos Dip?

The base of this dip is cream cheese, giving it a smooth and creamy texture that balances out the spiciness of the green chili peppers. And since you can easily adjust the spice level of this slow cooker dip, it’s sure to appeal to just about everyone at the party.

To make this easy cream cheese Doritos dip recipe, you’ll need just a few ingredients:

• Cream cheese: This easy dip is made with a base of cream cheese. It’s a good idea to use full fat cream cheese to ensure that the dip is smooth and creamy after it melts.
• Sour cream: Another ingredient that helps balance the spice of the Doritos is sour cream. You can use full fat or lite sour cream in this part of the recipe.
• Shredded cheese: Give the dip some extra cheesiness with the addition of shredded cheese. I used fiesta blend cheese in my recipe, but you can try different cheese varieties to see what you like best.
• Diced green chiles: Finely chopped green chiles peppers are the key to adding a slightly spicy flavor that complements the nacho cheese flavor Doritos.
• Ranch seasoning: Balance out the flavors of the chips and the peppers with the help of some ranch seasoning mix to cool things down.

How to Make Doritos Dip

In addition to having just a few simple ingredients, this easy green chiles dip couldn’t be simpler to make! Just follow these quick steps to prepare your own slow cooker dip for your next party.

The first step to making this quick recipe is to combine all the dip ingredients in the bowl of your slow cooker. But before you start placing the ingredients in the pot, spray it with nonstick cooking spray to keep the dip from sticking while it melts.

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, green chiles, ranch seasoning mix, and shredded cheese to the crockpot. There is no need to soften the cream cheese before putting it in the pot. The slow cooker will melt all the ingredients as it heats up.

After that, all that’s left to do is place the lid on top and let the dip cook. Set the slow cooker to cook on low for around one hour. That will give the dip ingredients plenty of time to melt.

Then, remove the lid and stir the ingredients well to mix everything together. After that, place the lid back on top and cook the dip for another hour. Stir the dip well before serving with Doritos.

How Long is Doritos Dip Good for in the Refrigerator?

As long as the slow cooker is on and you continue stirring the dip, you can snack on your Doritos dip for a few hours. But since this dip is made with cream cheese and sour cream, the longest I would recommend letting this dip sit out is two hours after the slow cooker has been turned off.

After that, it’s a good idea to refrigerate the dip until you’re ready to eat it again. Before placing the dip in the refrigerator, be sure to cover it with plastic wrap to keep the cream cheese from hardening. You can store the dip in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat it in the microwave when you’re ready to eat more.

Can You Eat Doritos Dip Cold?

The beauty of this easy dip recipe is that can be enjoyed hot or cold! If you prefer to serve a cold dip with Doritos, simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and chill it until you’re ready to serve. Make sure to start with softened cream cheese to make it easier to mix all your ingredients together.
