Ingredients

16 oz Velveeta cheese
10 oz Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies (original flavor)
1 lb Ground beef (optional)
0 Tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

If using ground beef, begin by browning the beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to allow for faster melting.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and the Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (do not drain) over low heat.

Step 4

Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

If using ground beef, fold it into the melted cheese mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
