Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 16 ounces process cheese, cubed (Velveeta)
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilis (Rotel)
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat to prevent the dip from being greasy.
- Add Cheese: Add the cubed Velveeta process cheese to the skillet. Stir gently and allow the cheese to melt completely, combining it thoroughly with the browned beef.
- Add Tomatoes and Chilis: Once the cheese has melted, add in the diced tomatoes with green chilis (Rotel). Mix until well combined and the dip is heated through.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a crockpot. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, nachos, or your preferred accompaniments.
Notes
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings; simply double the ingredients and keep warm in a crockpot.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey for a lower-fat version.
- This dip makes an excellent nacho topping—just pour over tortilla chips and add salsa, green chilies, cilantro, or other toppings as desired.
- For extra heat, use spicy Rotel or add chopped jalapeños.
- Can be made ahead and kept warm in a slow cooker for serving.
