Layer and Slow Cook
Start by layering the beef, lentils, kidney beans, salsa, and Cheddar cheese into your slow cooker. Set it to low and let everything cook gently for about 4 to 6 hours, or if you’re short on time, crank it up to high and cook for 2 to 4 hours. Once it’s all melted together and bubbly, give it a good stir before serving. It’s a simple, hands-off way to get a warm, comforting dip ready for your next snack attack!
