Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, undrained
- 1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut into cubes
- 1 pound ground beef or bulk pork sausage (optional, for a heartier dip)
Instructions
- If using meat, brown the ground beef or sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease completely.
- Transfer the cooked meat (if used) to a slow cooker or a medium saucepan.
- Add the entire can of undrained Rotel tomatoes and the cubed Velveeta cheese product to the slow cooker or saucepan.
- If using a slow cooker, cook on LOW for 2 hours or on HIGH for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth.
- If using a saucepan, heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil.
- Serve the warm dip immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sturdy vegetables.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the Velveeta with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.
- If you are making this dip ahead of time, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and keep it warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for serving at your party.
- Drain the Rotel tomatoes if you prefer a thicker queso dip consistency.
