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 itโs 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.
