Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release the spices' aroma.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the crock pot.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes and add them to the crock pot along with the cream cheese, Rotel (do not drain), and any juice in the can.
Gently stir the ingredients in the crock pot to combine, but don't worry if not everything is fully mixed yet.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cover with the lid. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the dip is smooth.
Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is velvety, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Keep the crock pot on the warm setting to serve.
Serve the cheese dip with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers, such as pretzels, crackers, or vegetables.
