Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 10 ounces Canned Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 small (chopped) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 small (finely diced) Jalapeño (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, making sure it coats the beef mixture evenly. If using diced jalapeño, add it at this stage and cook for another minute.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently as the cheese melts.
Once the cheese has mostly melted, pour in the Rotel tomatoes with their juices and the milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a smooth mixture.
Let the dip simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or scorching.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish or a slow cooker set to 'warm'. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top for a fresh finish.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or your favorite dipping items. Enjoy!
