Description
A warm, cheesy dip with bold Rotel tomatoes and savory ground beef, perfect for game days and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk (optional, for thinning)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
- Diced jalapeños for extra heat
- Black beans or corn for texture
- Chopped cilantro for freshness
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Crockpot: Set to low heat. Add browned beef, Rotel tomatoes (with juices), and cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir in milk if a thinner consistency is preferred. Sprinkle in taco seasoning for extra flavor.
- Let It Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure even melting.
- Serve Warm: Once fully melted and creamy, set crockpot to “warm” and serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies.
Notes
Stir every 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
Adjust spice level by using mild or hot Rotel.
Keep warm in the crockpot to maintain smooth texture throughout your gathering.
For a healthier version, use lean ground turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of milk.
