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 cubes
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy dip.
- Add the Rotel tomatoes: Stir in the entire can of Rotel tomatoes with their juice into the cooked ground beef. Mix well to combine the flavors.
- Melt in the Velveeta cheese: Gradually add the Velveeta cheese cubes into the beef and tomato mixture. Stir frequently over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and the dip becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve warm: Transfer the hot dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- For extra spice, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Keep the dip warm by using a slow cooker on the low setting during parties.
- Use skim or reduced-fat Velveeta for a lighter dip, though texture may vary slightly.
