This Crock Pot Rotel Dip is a warm, cheesy, and flavorful appetizer perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Made with ground beef, Velveeta cheese, and diced tomatoes with green chiles, it offers a creamy and slightly spicy dip that’s effortless to prepare in your slow cooker.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 32 oz Velveeta Cheese, diced into small pieces
  • 2 cans (10 ounces each) Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (such as Rotel)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat to keep the dip from being greasy.
  2. Prepare Cheese in Crock Pot: Dice the Velveeta cheese into small chunks and place them evenly into a 3 to 5-quart crock pot.
  3. Add Beef: Spread the browned and drained ground beef evenly over the Velveeta cheese in the crock pot.
  4. Add Tomatoes with Chiles: Pour both cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles over the beef and cheese layer.
  5. Cook the Dip: Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to help the cheese melt evenly and to combine all ingredients into a creamy dip.
  6. Serve Warm: Once the cheese has fully melted and the dip is hot and bubbly, serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a 3-5 quart crock pot to ensure even cooking and enough space for stirring.
  • If Velveeta is not available, use processed cheese with similar melting properties for best results.
  • For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent cheese from sticking to the sides or burning.
  • Leftover dip can be refrigerated and reheated slowly in the crock pot or microwave.
