Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 16 ounces processed cheese loaf such as Velveeta, cubed
  • 10 ounces canned diced tomatoes with chilies such as Rotel, with juices
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains, breaking it apart as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium to prevent the cheese from burning when added.
  • Add the cubed processed cheese, canned diced tomatoes with chilies (including all juices), and chili powder to the skillet with the cooked beef.
  • Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the dip becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately while warm with tortilla chips. Can be kept warm in a slow cooker for extended serving.
