Cut Velveeta into cubes and place in a bowl with the cream cheese so they start to come to room temperature. If you are a hurry microwave for 30-45 seconds to soften the mixture.
8 oz cream cheese,8 oz Velveeta
Cook ground beef over medium heat in a skillet. Break apart into crumbls as it cookes.
1 pound ground beef
Tip pan and spoon off excess grease.
Add the chopped onions to the ground beef and continue to cook until translucent. This takes just a couple of minutes.
1/3 cup onions
Stir in the taco seasoning and mix everything together well.
3 tablespoons taco seasoning

Dump in the corn, salsa, black beans, and green chilies into the skillet.

Stir to combine, then remove from the meat mixture from the heat.

Add the sour cream and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese to the bowl of Velveta and cream cheese.

Use a large spoon to stir the sour cream mixture together until it’s combined and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer on low speed, but don’t overmix.

Spray the Crock Pot with cooking spray to help prevent sticking. Now, start making layers. Spread 1 cup of the meat mixture in the bottom of the Crock Pot.

Cover meat mixture with 1 cup of the cheese mixture. Use a spoon or spatula to cover the meat mixture completely.

Repeat the layers 4 times. The meat should be your final layer.

Put the lid on the Crock Pot and cook on low for 2 hours.

During the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack over top. Set the lid back on top and allow the cheese to melt.

You can serve this dip right out of the Crock Pot. Top the dip as desired toppings.
