What Ingredients Do You Need for Rotel Dip?

  • 32 oz. velveeta (obviously I go for the store brand since I’m cheapo)

How to Make Rotel Dip in Slow Cooker?

The only real hands-on part of this dip is you have to cook your ground beef. Just cook it in a frying pan until it’s no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes

Cube your Velveeta cheese into smaller pieces.

Then add everything to your slow cooker. Cook on high heat for about 2-3 hours.

This dip recipe actually lets you break the cardinal rule of slow cookers and allows you to remove the lid every once in a while to stir the ingredients together.

You don’t want the cheese to burn, so as it melts you need to stir everything together occasionally.

Once it’s all melted and heated through, it’s ready to serve and enjoy!

You can also store this in an airtight container to enjoy later.

This is best enjoyed appetizer recipes with tortilla chips or corn chips but I’ve even made it with celery sticks and carrots too!

Tips to Making Rotel Dip:

  • If you like your food extra spicy, you can add two cans of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies. It won’t be quite as thick, but it will be spicy and delicious appetizer for parties!
  • As your dip sits, it will thicken up quite a bit. You can either keep your slow cooker on warm or add about 1/2 cup of milk and stir into it to thin it out.
  • You can substitute 1 pound of ground sausage in place of the ground beef if you want.
  • Feel free to add seasonings if you want extra flavor. Garlic powder would be great with this!
