Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 10 oz canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tbsp jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
- (for serving) tortilla chips
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning. Set aside.
Cut the Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into small cubes for easier melting.
In a crock pot (slow cooker), add the cubed Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid), and cooked ground beef.
Pour the milk over the ingredients in the crock pot to help create a smooth consistency.
Stir well to combine all ingredients, then set the crock pot to the LOW setting.
Cover and cook the cheese dip for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure that the cheeses melt evenly and the flavors meld together.
If desired, add the chopped jalapeños about 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete for an extra spicy kick.
Once the cheese dip is fully melted and creamy, switch the crock pot to the WARM setting to keep the dip at the perfect temperature for serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving, if desired.
Serve the cheese dip with tortilla chips, and enjoy!
