Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 1 (16-ounce) box Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Place the ground beef in a large pot or deep skillet on the stove over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Prepare the cheese: Cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks to help it melt faster and more evenly when added.
- Combine ingredients: Add the entire can of Rotel tomatoes to the browned beef. Stir in the chunks of Velveeta cheese. Stir frequently to help the cheese melt completely into a smooth, creamy mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve warm: Once the cheese has melted fully and the dip is well combined, transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, use Rotel tomatoes labeled as ‘hot’ or add extra diced jalapeños.
- To keep the dip warm for longer, use a slow cooker or warming tray if serving at a party.
- For a thicker consistency, let the dip simmer a little longer to reduce excess liquid.
- Velveeta is recommended for its smooth melting properties, but processed cheese alternatives can be used.
