Ingredients

  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 packet Taco seasoning
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 bag Tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it apart into small crumbles as it cooks and drain any excess grease once the beef is fully cooked.

Step 2

2. Add the taco seasoning packet to the cooked ground beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well to incorporate and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

3. Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes to allow for faster melting.

Step 4

4. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Velveeta cubes, Rotel diced tomatoes (including the liquid), and milk.

Step 5

5. Place the saucepan on medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the cheese from sticking or burning. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth (approximately 5-7 minutes).

Step 6

6. Stir in the seasoned ground beef until fully combined with the cheese mixture.

Step 7

7. Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the dip to a serving bowl or slow cooker set to 'warm' if serving over an extended time.

Step 8

8. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

9. Serve hot with tortilla chips and enjoy!
