Ingredients

  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp milk (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes and open the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Set aside.

Step 2

2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and season the cooked ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder if using. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

4. In a medium saucepan or slow cooker, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, Rotel tomatoes (including the liquid), and the cooked ground beef.

Step 5

5. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. If using a slow cooker, set it to low and stir occasionally for about 1 hour.

Step 6

6. If the dip is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency and stir well.

Step 7

7. Once fully heated and smooth, transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker set to 'warm' mode.

Step 8

8. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks, and enjoy!
