Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Jalapeño (optional, diced)
- 2 tbsp Milk (optional for thinning)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break the meat up into small crumbles as it cooks.
Step 2
Add the diced onion, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion softens slightly.
Step 3
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and set the cooked beef mixture aside.
Step 4
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to help it melt evenly.
Step 5
In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (do not drain the liquid from the Rotel).
Step 6
Heat over low heat (or set the slow cooker to low heat), stirring occasionally, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. This will take about 8-10 minutes on the stovetop.
Step 7
Once the cheese is melted, stir in the cooked ground beef mixture and the optional diced jalapeño if you prefer extra heat. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 8
If the dip is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Transfer the creamy Rotel dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker on the 'low' or 'warm' setting.
Step 10
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
