Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 0.5 lb Ground beef (optional)
- 1 unit Onion (small, finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 1 unit Jalapeño (optional, minced for extra spice)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips
Directions
Step 1
1. If adding ground beef, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Step 2
2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. If using jalapeño, add it now and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Step 3
3. Cut the Velveeta cheese block into 1-inch cubes for easier melting.
Step 4
4. In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the Velveeta cubes and Rotel (do not drain the Rotel). Heat over low on the stovetop or in 1-minute intervals in the microwave, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.
Step 5
5. Add milk to the melted cheese mixture, stirring well to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6
6. Stir in the cooked ground beef (if using), sautéed onion, garlic powder, and cumin. Mix until well combined.
Step 7
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For extra spice, stir in additional jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 8
8. Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the creamiest texture!
