Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 16-ounce box Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Place the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat on the stovetop. Cook and stir until the beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Stir in the entire can of Rotel tomatoes (undrained) and add the Velveeta cheese chunks to the pot.
- Melt the Cheese: Stir the mixture frequently until the Velveeta is completely melted, creating a smooth and creamy cheese dip.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Cutting the Velveeta cheese into chunks before melting helps it melt evenly and faster.
- You can add more spice by using hot Rotel tomatoes or adding jalapeños.
- If the dip thickens too much, stir in a little milk or water to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low setting to prevent it from firming up as it cools.
