Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
Other Ingredients
- 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 16 ounce Velveeta Cheese, processed cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the lean ground beef until no pink remains. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease to keep the dip from becoming too oily.
- Add Seasonings and Tomatoes: Stir in the homemade taco seasoning and the entire can of Rotel tomatoes, including the liquid, to infuse the beef with zesty and spicy flavors.
- Melt the Cheese: Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet and stir continuously over medium heat until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is creamy and well combined, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Pour the warm dip into your desired serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep the dip hearty but not greasy.
- Homemade taco seasoning can be customized to your taste or substituted with store-bought seasoning.
- Keep the heat moderate when melting the cheese to prevent it from burning or separating.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker for parties.
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or increase the amount of taco seasoning.
