- 1 pound ground beef, lean
- 1 onion, small, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return the skillet to the heat.
Season the mixture with ground black pepper and cayenne pepper (if using), stirring well to combine.
Add the no salt added diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cut the low sodium cheddar cheese into cubes and add them to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish or a slow cooker set on warm to keep it hot during serving.
Serve the low sodium Rotel dip with your choice of fresh vegetables, low sodium tortilla chips, or whole grain crackers.
