For those occasions when you want a tasty quick appetizer, there’s no dip like this Rotel dip! It’s a spicy cheesy dip sure to impress at the Super Bowl or any snack party. Just some simple ingredients and you have a snack everyone is going to like. 

Ingredients 

Hamburger Meat: Ground beef thick is tender and delicious. You can substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or spicy sausage if you wish. 

Velveeta Cheese: This cheese is processed and melts for creamy dip. Take 1 bag (16oz), cubes. 

Rotel Tomatoes: Rotel tomatoes (canned) spice it up. Make it mild or hot based on how hot you are. For those of us who don’t have Rotel, diced tomatoes with green chilies are another option. 

Optional Add-ins

Seasoning: Taco seasoning, chili powder or cumin for a kick. 

Moist: You can use heavy cream or cream of mushroom soup to make the texture thicker. 

Cheese Styles: To make it even more cheeseful, you can put cheddar or pepper jack cheese on top. 

Hot: Diced jalapeos or hot sauce for heat. 

Veggies: chopped bell peppers or onions for texture. 

Beans: Black beans or chili beans if you're vegetarian. 

Step-by-Step 

• Roast the Ground Beef: Cook the ground beef in a large pan on medium heat. Cut it in the middle as you cook it to make sure it doesn’t go pink (5-7 minutes). If it’s too wet, drain off the grease. 
• Rotel and Flavors: Stir the taco seasoning into the sauce. Toss in the can of Rotel tomatoes (juices), and cook a few minutes. 
• Melt the Cheese: Cut up the Velveeta and add it to the skillet/low cooker along with the beef. 
• Stir and simmer: Bring to low heat and simmer until cheese is fully melted and the dip is creamy (5-10 minutes on the stove top, 2 hours on low in the Crockpot). If the dip is too thick, thin it out with some milk. 

Serving Ideas 

Serve your Rotel dip warm with dippers such as: 

Tortilla Chips: This is a no-brainer. 

Ruffled Chips: For extra crunch. 

Crackers: Different flavoured crackers can go with the dip. 

Bread: Sliced baguette or toast the bread for an earthy version. 

Veggies: Raw vegetable sticks such as celery or bell peppers for a mild crunch. 

Topping Suggestions 

Green Onions: For some contrast and crunch. 

Fresh Cilantro: Provides a clean, herbaceous taste. 

Cut Tomatoes: To add some mash and color. 

Jalapeos: To the heat lover out there. 

Keep the Dip Warm. 

Keep your dip warm and smooth throughout the party: 

Crockpot: Turn it to "warm" setting so it will keep just the right temperature. 

Stir On A Continuity: This avoids the dip becoming overly thick or getting skinned. 

Add Milk: In case the dip becomes too thick, use a few drops of milk to thin it. 

Dutch Oven: Another great method to keep the dip warm and available to serve. 

Variants and Alternatives 

It is very customizable recipe for Rotel dip based on personal preference: 

Other Meats: Try ground turkey, chicken, or chorizo for alternative flavors. 

Vegan Version: Substitute black beans or lentils in place of the meat for a vegan option. 

Cheese Types: Replace Velveeta with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even vegan cheese. 

Temperature: heat according to preference (we recommend either plain or hot Rotel), add jalapeno, or add chipotle for smokey flavor.
