Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 16 ounces Velveeta Cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium high heat. Drain any grease in the pan.
- While the meat is cooking, cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. Set it aside.
- Add taco seasoning and the can of Rotel. Mix until it is all combined.
- Add cubes of Velveeta, a ⅓ of the block at a time, allowing the cheese to melt before adding more. Continue to do this until all of the cheese is melted and incorporated with the meat.
- Taste to see if more taco seasoning is desired. Allow the dip to simmer for a few minutes so that it is nice and hot.
Notes
- Letting the ground beef cook undisturbed for a few minutes will help it develop a beautiful, brown crust.
- Don’t skip cubing the Velveeta! Cutting it into small cubes will help it melt quickly and evenly.
- Stir the dip continuously as the cheese melts to prevent burning and also ensure the smoothest texture.
- If the dip is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out and get the perfect consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers on the stove top, stirring continuously until it's warmed through. It might need a small splash of milk to loosen it up.
