📝 Instructions

6 steps
1

Dice the small onion and mince the garlic cloves.

2

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into crumbles.

3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft.

4

Stir in the Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, including the liquid, and the black pepper. Mix to combine and bring to a simmer.

5

Reduce the heat to low and add the Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes, to the skillet. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth, about 5 minutes.

6

Transfer the Rotel dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips.
