Description

A creamy, cheesy, and spicy Rotel Dip made with Velveeta, Rotel tomatoes, and ground beef. Ready in just 20 minutes, this crowd-pleaser is perfect for parties, game days, or casual snacking.


Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Velveeta, cubed
  • 10-ounce can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
  • 1 pound ground beef

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked.
  2. Cube the Velveeta into 1-inch pieces for even melting.
  3. Add the Velveeta cubes and the can of Rotel (undrained) to the skillet with the beef.
  4. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, bagel chips, or raw veggies.

Notes

  • Use spicy sausage instead of beef for extra flavor and heat.
  • Add cream cheese or a splash of milk for more creaminess.
  • Mix in beans, green chiles, or cream of mushroom soup for added texture and depth.
  • Can be made in a slow cooker and kept warm for serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of milk if needed.
  • Do not freeze as the texture may change.
