Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
  • 10 ounce can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies), undrained
  • 1 pound ground hamburger beef

Instructions

  1. Brown the Hamburger: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground hamburger, breaking it apart with a spoon until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add Velveeta and Rotel: Reduce heat to low, then add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire 10-ounce can of Rotel (including juices) into the skillet with the browned hamburger.
  3. Melt and Stir: Stir the mixture continuously until the Velveeta is completely melted and well combined with the hamburger and Rotel, creating a smooth, creamy dip.
  4. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep warm in the skillet and serve immediately with a variety of chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • For extra spice, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • This dip is best served warm; to keep it warm during parties, use a slow cooker on the low setting.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Pair with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and bell peppers.
