Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 10–ounce can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 16–ounce box Velveeta cheese
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef
Place the ground beef in a large pot on the stove over medium heat. Cook the beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary. - Prepare the Velveeta cheese
Cut the Velveeta cheese into smaller chunks. This step helps the cheese melt more quickly and evenly when combined with other ingredients. - Combine ingredients
Add the entire can of Rotel tomatoes to the pot with the browned ground beef. Stir in the Velveeta cheese chunks and let everything heat on low. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or clumping and to ensure the cheese melts completely. - Serve
Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or cut-up vegetables.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder, garlic powder, or smoked paprika.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, opt for Rotel with green chiles or add some diced jalapeños.
- Keep the dip warm during serving by transferring it into a slow cooker set on the low or warm setting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave before serving.
