Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Can substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • 1 can Rotel Tomatoes Do not drain, as the juices enhance the dip’s texture.
  • 16 oz Velveeta Cheese Cube before heating for quicker melting.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Blend in for a richer texture.
  • 1 cup Jalapeños Chop for added spice.
  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage Can use instead of beef.

Equipment

  • Large pot

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium heat, then add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until evenly browned. Drain excess fat if necessary, and keep heat on low.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the cubed Velveeta cheese along with the undrained Rotel tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
  3. Continue stirring on medium-low heat for about 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Transfer the melted dip into a serving bowl while it's still warm. Pair with crunchy tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
