Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp chili powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes and open the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Set aside.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and season the cooked ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder if using. Stir well to combine.
4. In a medium saucepan or slow cooker, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, Rotel tomatoes (including the liquid), and the cooked ground beef.
5. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. If using a slow cooker, set it to low and stir occasionally for about 1 hour.
6. If the dip is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency and stir well.
7. Once fully heated and smooth, transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker set to 'warm' mode.
8. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks, and enjoy!
