Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 16-ounce box Velveeta cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Place the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat on the stove. Cook it until it is browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Prepare Cheese: Cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks to help it melt more quickly and evenly.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Pour in the entire can of Rotel tomatoes with juices into the pot, then add the Velveeta cheese chunks. Stir frequently as the cheese melts completely, combining all ingredients into a smooth dip.
  4. Serve Warm: Transfer the cheese dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with your favorite chips or dipping foods.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the dip.
  • For a spicier dip, use hot Rotel tomatoes instead of mild.
  • Keep stirring while melting the cheese to prevent it from sticking and burning on the bottom of the pot.
  • This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low setting for parties.
  • Try different dipping items such as tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
