Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Optional hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco, for extra heat)
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and season it with chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce if desired. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, including the liquid. Stir to distribute evenly.
Cube the Velveeta cheese into small chunks and gradually add them to the skillet, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Once fully combined and creamy, remove the dip from the heat. Transfer to a serving bowl or a slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it hot during serving.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
