Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or sausage
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- If using meat, brown the ground beef or sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked meat, if using.
- Add the Rotel tomatoes (with their liquid) and the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet with the meat.
- Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the Velveeta is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
- To serve in a slow cooker, transfer the mixture to a small slow cooker and keep on the ‘Warm’ setting for serving.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- For a creamier dip, substitute half of the Velveeta with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.
- If you prefer a less spicy dip, use the mild version of Rotel tomatoes.
- You can prepare the meat ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days before assembling the dip.
