Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 ounces tortilla chips
Instructions
Dice the small onion and mince the garlic cloves.
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.
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.
Stir in the Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, including the liquid, and the black pepper. Mix to combine and bring to a simmer.
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.
Transfer the Rotel dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips.
