Description
Make this classic Velveeta and Rotel Dip, a cheesy, warm appetizer perfect for parties and game days. This quick recipe delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or sausage
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 (10 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef or sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir the undrained Rotel tomatoes and the cubed Velveeta cheese into the skillet with the meat.
- Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the Velveeta cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, if using, for extra flavor.
- Transfer the dip to a small slow cooker to keep warm for serving, or serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, you can melt the Velveeta cheese separately in the microwave before adding it to the skillet.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, drain half the liquid from the Rotel tomatoes before adding them.
- Serve this hot dip with sturdy tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
