Ingredients

• 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
• 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 0.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 optional, seeded and diced jalapeño
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice the onion, mince the garlic, and if using, seed and dice the jalapeño.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and optional jalapeño to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, cube the Velveeta cheese into small pieces for easier melting.

Step 6

In a large saucepan or a slow cooker on medium heat, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), and the browned beef mixture.

Step 7

Stir in 1/4 cup of milk to achieve a smooth consistency. Stir occasionally, allowing the cheese to melt entirely and the ingredients to combine, approximately 10 minutes.

Step 8

Once everything is melted and combined, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low to keep the dip warm. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep warm in a slow cooker.

Step 10

Serve the Velveeta Cheese Dip warm with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or your choice of dipping items. Enjoy!
