Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
- 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 16 ounce Velveeta Cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to reduce fat content.
- Add seasoning and ingredients: Stir in the 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning to evenly coat the beef. Then add the entire 10-ounce can of Rotel tomatoes (including liquid) and the 16 ounces of cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet.
- Melt and combine: Continue stirring the mixture over medium heat until the Velveeta cheese has completely melted and combined with the beef and tomatoes, creating a creamy and smooth dip.
- Serve: Pour the hot Rotel dip into a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips or your preferred dipping snacks.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use the spicy variety of Rotel tomatoes.
- Homemade taco seasoning typically contains chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- You can substitute Velveeta with another processed cheese or a blend of cheddar and cream cheese for a slightly different flavor.
- If the dip thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker for parties.
