Description

This Rotel Dip combines savory ground beef, zesty Rotel tomatoes, and creamy Velveeta cheese to create a deliciously smooth and spicy dip. Itโ€™s quick to prepare and sure to be a hit at any event.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (16-ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Instructions

  • Brown the Ground Beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until itโ€™s no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add Seasoning (Optional): Stir in the taco seasoning to the browned beef for added flavor.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the Rotel tomatoes (with their juices) and the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet.
  • Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the dip is smooth.
  • Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and enjoy it warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Variations: For a spicier dip, use Rotel Hot diced tomatoes. You can also substitute ground beef with spicy sausage or ground turkey.
  • Slow Cooker Option: After browning the meat, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
