Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips
Instructions
1. Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it apart into small crumbles as it cooks and drain any excess grease once the beef is fully cooked.
2. Add the taco seasoning packet to the cooked ground beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well to incorporate and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes to allow for faster melting.
4. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Velveeta cubes, Rotel diced tomatoes (including the liquid), and milk.
5. Place the saucepan on medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the cheese from sticking or burning. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth (approximately 5-7 minutes).
6. Stir in the seasoned ground beef until fully combined with the cheese mixture.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the dip to a serving bowl or slow cooker set to 'warm' if serving over an extended time.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
9. Serve hot with tortilla chips and enjoy!
