Description

Make this simple, cheesy, and warm Rotel dip using only three main ingredients. It is perfect for parties or game days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed


Instructions

  1. Combine the Rotel, Velveeta cubes, and cream cheese cubes in a medium saucepan or a small slow cooker.
  2. If using a saucepan, heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil.
  3. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth.
  4. Once smooth, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve warm with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • For a meat version, brown 1 pound of ground beef or sausage and drain the fat before adding it to the cheese mixture.
  • You can substitute Velveeta with a similar processed cheese product if needed.
  • If the dip thickens while serving, add a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.
