Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies (original flavor)
- 1 lb Ground beef (optional)
- Tortilla chips
Instructions
If using ground beef, begin by browning the beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease and set aside.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to allow for faster melting.
In a medium saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and the Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (do not drain) over low heat.
Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
If using ground beef, fold it into the melted cheese mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
