Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 10.5 ounce can Ro*Tel (do not drain)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off the grease to avoid excess fat in the dip.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in the packet of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the cooked beef, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute flavors.
- Melt the Cheese: Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet, stirring often until the cheese is completely melted and blended with the seasoned beef.
- Incorporate Ro*Tel: Pour in the entire can of Ro*Tel (including the liquid) and stir well to combine all ingredients smoothly.
- Serve Warm: Serve the dip immediately for best flavor and texture, or transfer to a slow cooker on warm setting to keep it ready for serving over a longer period.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use hot Ro*Tel instead of mild.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a microwave or slow cooker.
