Instructions:
-
Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet or pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. This should take about 8-10 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.
-
Drain the Beef: Once the ground beef is cooked, carefully drain any excess grease or fat from the pan.
-
Add the Rotel Tomatoes: Pour the cans of Rotel tomatoes into the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine.
-
Cook Down: Allow the mixture to cook down for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until some of the liquid evaporates and the flavors meld together.
-
Prepare the Velveeta Cheese: While the beef and tomatoes are cooking, cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. This will help it melt more easily and evenly.
-
Add the Cheese: Once the beef and tomatoes have cooked down slightly, add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet.
-
Melt the Cheese: Stir continuously until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take another 5-7 minutes.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the Rotel Dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in a slow cooker or fondue pot for serving.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning blend such as taco seasoning, chili powder, or cumin.
- Customize the level of heat by using mild, medium, or hot varieties of Rotel tomatoes.
- Serve the Rotel Dip with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, pretzels, or sliced vegetables.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove until heated through.
