Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 16-ounce box Velveeta cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Place the ground beef in a large pot on the stove over medium heat. Cook it thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
- Prepare the Cheese: While the beef is cooking, cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks to help it melt faster during cooking.
- Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Once the beef is browned, add the entire can of Rotel tomatoes along with the Velveeta cheese chunks to the pot. Stir frequently to combine the ingredients and help the cheese melt evenly.
- Simmer and Melt: Continue stirring regularly until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the hot dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it warm with your favorite dipping foods such as tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the dip.
- Velveeta cheese ensures a smooth and creamy texture but can be substituted with processed cheese if desired.
- Drain excess grease from the beef after browning to keep the dip from becoming too oily.
- Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker or warm oven if not serving immediately.
- Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for an extra spicy kick.
