Description
A delicious creamy dip made with ground beef, cheese, and spices, perfect for serving with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (Can substitute with turkey for a lighter version.)
- 10 oz Rotel Tomatoes (Opt for plain diced tomatoes for a milder taste.)
- 1 medium Onion (Yellow or white works well.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Use freshly minced for best flavor.)
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder (Adjust to your preferred spice level.)
- 16 oz Velveeta Cheese (Shredded cheddar can substitute but won’t melt as well.)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Consider light cream cheese for a healthier choice.)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1 cup Diced Jalapeños (For extra spice.)
- 1 cup Extra Cheese (Adjust thickness to preference.)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain excess grease, add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in Rotel tomatoes and chili powder, and allow to simmer gently for about 3 minutes.
- Add Velveeta cheese cubes to the skillet, stirring until melted and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in cream cheese until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
- This dip can be made lighter by substituting turkey for ground beef and using light cream cheese.
- For a milder flavor, opt for plain diced tomatoes instead of Rotel.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños and chili powder based on your spice preference.
