Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained)
- 16 ounces processed cheese (such as Velveeta), cubed
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat to keep the dip from being oily.
- Add Rotel Tomatoes: Pour the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies—including the juices—into the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed processed cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently to ensure the cheese completely melts into the beef and tomato mixture, creating a smooth and creamy dip.
- Serve Warm: Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the dip warm alongside tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use spicy Rotel or add taco seasoning to the beef while cooking.
- Substitute ground sausage for the beef or use a combination of both for a different taste.
- To keep the dip warm during parties, transfer it to a slow cooker set on the “warm” setting.
