Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Rotel Dip With Ground Beef

This dip is a winner for so many reasons. It feeds a crowd without the stress. It’s made with just a few ingredients you likely already have. Plus, it keeps warm and creamy for hours in the slow cooker, making it a practical choice for any get-together. Whether you’re hosting a Super Bowl party or just want a fun movie night snack, this dish delivers.

Can I Use a Different Kind of Cheese Instead of Velveeta?

Absolutely! While Velveeta gives the dip that signature creamy texture, you can swap it for cream cheese, a mix of cheddar and mozzarella, or even pepper jack if you want some heat. Just note that other cheeses might not stay as smooth when kept warm, so stirring occasionally helps.

Ingredients for the Crockpot Rotel Dip With Ground Beef

The beauty of this dip is how simple the ingredients are. Each one plays a big role in creating that savory, cheesy flavor explosion.

• Ground beef: Brings hearty flavor and texture. Use lean beef to avoid too much grease.
• Velveeta cheese: Melts into a silky, creamy base that holds everything together.
• Rotel tomatoes: Adds that bold, zesty flavor with a touch of heat. Go for the mild or hot version depending on your spice tolerance.
• Taco seasoning: Deepens the savory notes and adds a Tex-Mex flair.
• Optional: diced green chilies or jalapeños: Great if you want an extra kick.

How To Make the Crockpot Rotel Dip With Ground Beef

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the dip from becoming greasy.

Step 2: Add Ingredients to Crockpot

Cube the Velveeta cheese and add it to the crockpot along with the browned beef, Rotel tomatoes (undrained), and taco seasoning. Stir everything together.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Set your crockpot on low heat and cook for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure the cheese melts evenly and doesn’t stick.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once everything is fully melted and combined, switch the crockpot to warm. Serve with tortilla chips, veggies, or even use it as a nacho topping.

How to Serve and Store This Dip

This recipe easily serves 8 to 10 people, depending on how many dips everyone takes! It’s best served hot straight from the crockpot. Just keep it on the “warm” setting and stir occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.

If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk to loosen it back up.
