Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 pound Velveeta cheese cubed
2 cans Rotel tomatoes with green chiles undrained
1 small yellow onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh cilantro or parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the slow cooker by coating it with a light coating of cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, then drain excess grease.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute to release fragrance, then transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker.
Add the Velveeta cubes and Rotel tomatoes directly to the slow cooker.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Stir to combine, then cover and cook on Low for 2–3 hours or High for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Stir well before serving and garnish with cilantro or parsley if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Feel free to prepare this Rotel dip on the stovetop instead of in your crockpot.
Avoid freezing the leftovers to best preserve the texture and flavor.
Ensure that you drain the excess grease from the beef well to prevent the dip from taking on a greasy texture and taste.
