Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 1 pound Ground beef (or sausage)
- 2 units Jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional, for thinning)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or sausage) until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Cube the Velveeta cheese into small, equal-sized chunks for easier melting.
In a medium-sized saucepan or a slow cooker, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese and the can of Rotel (do not drain the liquid).
Cook over low heat (or the low setting on the slow cooker), stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir the cooked ground beef (or sausage) into the cheese mixture until fully combined.
If you want extra heat, finely dice the jalapeños and stir them into the dip. Adjust the quantity based on your spice tolerance.
If the dip is too thick for your liking, add up to 1/4 cup of milk and stir well to reach the desired consistency.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker on the 'warm' setting.
Serve hot with tortilla chips and enjoy!
