Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz diced tomatoes and green chilies (such as Rotel)
- 0.5 lb ground beef
- 0.5 cup onion (finely diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 small jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
Instructions
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and jalapeño (if using). Cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and set the cooked beef mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the Velveeta cubes and milk. Stir continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the cheese has melted into a smooth consistency, stir in the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, including the juices.
Add the cooked beef mixture to the cheese sauce and stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish, or keep it warm in a slow cooker set to low.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pretzels, or sliced veggies for dipping.
