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.
