Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 16-ounce box Velveeta cheese
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Place the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Prepare the cheese: Cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks to help it melt more quickly and evenly.
- Add tomatoes and cheese: Pour in the entire can of Rotel tomatoes with juices, then stir in the Velveeta chunks. Stir frequently to ensure the cheese melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Serve warm: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with your favorite chips, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the dip.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, use a hotter variety of Rotel or add some chopped jalapeños.
- To keep the dip warm during serving, use a small slow cooker or warming tray.
- You can substitute Velveeta with a combination of shredded cheddar and processed cheese for a different texture.
- This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
