Feeding a crowd? My family also loves this bacon cheddar cream cheese dip, cold crab dip and buffalo chicken dip.
Rotel dip is an easy dip recipe made with meat, cheese, and Rotel Tomatoes, which are petite, diced tomatoes with green chilis and spices. (It’s almost like salsa.)
This Rotel dip recipe never lets us down. It’s always a crowd pleaser– it has the perfect amount of spicy heat in each bite. You can dip just about anything into it. I usually serve it alongside tortilla chips, bagel chips, crackers, or veggies.
ROTEL DIP INGREDIENTS
You Will Need:
- 16 ounces of Velveeta
- 10 ounce can of Rotel
- 1 pound of hamburger
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
MEAT: If you substitute spicy sausage for the ground beef, it takes the heat up another level.
CHEESE: You can add an 8-ounce brick of cream cheese — the result will be extra creamy.
HOW TO MAKE THIS ROTEL DIP RECIPE
The ultimate appetizer, Rotel Dip couldn’t get any easier to make:
- Start by browning your hamburger in a skillet until cooked through.
- As it’s cooking, cube the Velveeta cheese.
- Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, stir in the cubes of Velveeta cheese and the Rotel.
- Stir regularly as it melts and then it’s ready to serve.
STORAGE
IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze rotel dip for up to 3 months, just make it’s stored inside a freezer safe container. When you’re ready to eat, just pop it into the fridge to thaw, then heat through before serving.
