Equipment

  • Large Skillet This large Anolon 12" Skillet is ideal for cheesy dip recipes as well as one-pan meals!
  • Slow Cooker My Cuisinart Slow Cooker / Multi-Cooker is on of my favorite appliances!
  • Small Dip-Sized Crock Pot Great for serving dips and other hot appetizers at parties.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground beef browned and drained
  • 1 (10 oz. can) Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies, with juice mild or hot
  • 1 (16 oz. box) Velveeta processed cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons hot sauce like Frank's or Cholula

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess fat that has rendered. Return the drained beef to the skillet.
  • To the beef, add in the Rotel tomatoes with the juice, Velveeta and hot sauce. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring often with a rubber scraper for approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Once all the cheese has completely melted, the dip is ready to be served. Can be served right out of the skillet or kept warm in a slow cooker.

Notes

Slow Cooker Instructions: Brown and drain ground beef. Add to a slow cooker along with the Velveeta,  Rotel and hot sauce. Heat on low for 2 hours, stirring often and until all ingredients have melted together. Serve directly out of the crock pot, keeping the heat on low setting.
Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. Dip will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet until fully heated through – approximately 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often.
