Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
Main Dip Ingredients
- 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 16 ounce Velveeta Cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Make sure to break it apart evenly to ensure thorough cooking.
- Drain excess grease: Once cooked, carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet to reduce fat and prevent the dip from being too oily.
- Add seasoning and tomatoes: Return the skillet to the heat and add the 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning along with the entire 10-ounce can of Rotel tomatoes. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Melt the cheese: Add the 16 ounces of cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously over medium heat until the cheese is completely melted and everything is blended into a smooth, creamy dip.
- Serve warm: Pour the finished dip into a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- You can adjust the taco seasoning amount depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of Rotel tomatoes or drain some of the liquid before adding.
- Use lean or extra-lean ground beef to keep the dip lighter.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low setting during serving.
- Velveeta cheese can be substituted with other processed cheese alternatives but will affect texture and flavor.
