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 stove. Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Prepare the Cheese: While the beef is cooking, cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks to ensure it melts more evenly and quickly.
- Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Once the beef is browned, add the entire can of Rotel tomatoes with juices to the pot. Stir in the Velveeta chunks.
- Melt the Cheese: Stir the mixture frequently over medium heat until the Velveeta is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the hot dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Velveeta cheese melts smoothly, but you can substitute with processed cheese for a similar texture.
- For a spicier dip, use the hot variety of Rotel tomatoes or add diced jalapeños.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low to serve over a longer period.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the ground beef and add cooked beans or sautéed vegetables instead.
