Ingredients
- 2 lb Velveeta or processed cheese loaf cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20
- 2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles 10 oz each, undrained
- 1/2 cup whole milk or evaporated milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 2-quart glass casserole dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains.
- Drain most of the fat from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Add the cubed Velveeta, undrained Rotel tomatoes with green chiles, and milk to the skillet.
- Stir slowly over low heat until the cheese is mostly melted and the mixture is combined.
- Pour the dip into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly to the corners.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top looks creamy and slightly set.
- Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with sturdy tortilla chips.
Notes
Cut the cheese into smaller cubes for faster melting. Use whole milk or evaporated milk for a smoother, richer dip.
