Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 optional, seeded and diced jalapeño
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice the onion, mince the garlic, and if using, seed and dice the jalapeño.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic and optional jalapeño to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
While the beef is cooking, cube the Velveeta cheese into small pieces for easier melting.
In a large saucepan or a slow cooker on medium heat, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), and the browned beef mixture.
Stir in 1/4 cup of milk to achieve a smooth consistency. Stir occasionally, allowing the cheese to melt entirely and the ingredients to combine, approximately 10 minutes.
Once everything is melted and combined, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the dip warm. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep warm in a slow cooker.
Serve the Velveeta Cheese Dip warm with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or your choice of dipping items. Enjoy!
