Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 0.5 pound Ground beef (optional for added heartiness)
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional for thinning the dip)
Instructions
If using ground beef, start by cooking it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to ensure it melts evenly.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese and the Rotel (do not drain the liquid from the can).
Stir the mixture frequently as the cheese begins to melt to prevent it from burning.
If using the cooked ground beef, stir it into the cheese and Rotel mixture once the cheese has fully melted.
If the dip is too thick, add milk a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached, stirring well after each addition.
Once fully melted, smooth, and heated through, remove from heat and transfer the dip to a serving dish or a slow cooker set on warm to keep it hot.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pretzels, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
