Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground beef {cooked and drained}
  • ¼ cup red onion {diced}
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese {cubed}
  • 14.5 ounces Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 cup black beans {rinsed and drained}

Toppings

  • ¼ cup cilantro {chopped}

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat in a large and deep skillet. Drain any grease once cooked through. Add onion, taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat and continue to cook for a couple of minutes or until the water has evaporated.
  • Add the cubed cheese and let it melt slowly, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the cheese is melted, add the Rotel and black beans. Stir and cook until everything is heated through.
  • Top with chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.

Crock Pot Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat in a large and deep skillet. Drain any grease once cooked through. Add onion, taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat and continue to cook for a couple of minutes or until the water has evaporated.
  • Add the seasoned ground beef, cheese cubes, Rotel and black beans into a crock pot. Cook on high heat for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours. NOTE: Be sure to stir occasionally.

Notes

Be sure to stir the dip occasionally if you are keeping it warm on the stove top or in a slow cooker. This will prevent the surface of the cheese dip from solidifying and the edges from getting overcooked.
Pick the flavor of Rotel that you prefer based on your spice tolerance. Green chiles will be the most mild while Rotel with habaneros will make spicy Velveeta queso dip.
If you find that the dip if too thick, add a splash of milk and stir it in well.
Leftover Rotel cheese dip can be stored covered tightly or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
