Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 recommended)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until fully browned and no pink remains.
Drain the excess grease using a fine-mesh strainer, then return the beef to the skillet.
Season the beef with the salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of Rotel, including the juices.
Stir continuously for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
If the dip begins to bubble too vigorously, remove the skillet from the heat briefly before continuing to stir over low heat.
Serve immediately while warm with tortilla chips, corn chips, crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For extra flavor, substitute ground sausage or use half ground beef and half sausage.
Add diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper for a spicier dip.
Stir in black beans or corn to make the dip even heartier.
Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker on the Warm setting for parties.
If the dip becomes too thick, stir in a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
