Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 0.5 pound Ground beef (optional for added heartiness)
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional for thinning the dip)
Directions
Step 1
If using ground beef, start by cooking it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.
Step 2
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to ensure it melts evenly.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese and the Rotel (do not drain the liquid from the can).
Step 4
Stir the mixture frequently as the cheese begins to melt to prevent it from burning.
Step 5
If using the cooked ground beef, stir it into the cheese and Rotel mixture once the cheese has fully melted.
Step 6
If the dip is too thick, add milk a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached, stirring well after each addition.
Step 7
Once fully melted, smooth, and heated through, remove from heat and transfer the dip to a serving dish or a slow cooker set on warm to keep it hot.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pretzels, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
