This recipe shows you how to make a classic, crowd-pleasing Rotel Dip using only four simple ingredients. It melts down perfectly on the stovetop or stays warm in a slow cooker, making it the best homemade queso for game day or any party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage or ground beef
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained (optional, for less liquid)

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage or ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease completely.
  2. If using the stovetop method, add the Rotel tomatoes (with liquid) and the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet with the cooked meat.
  3. Stir constantly over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil.
  4. If using the slow cooker method, transfer the cooked meat, Rotel tomatoes, and Velveeta cubes to a small slow cooker.
  5. Cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and combined.
  6. Serve the warm Rotel Dip immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sturdy vegetables.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, drain the liquid from the can of Rotel tomatoes before adding them to the mixture.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture without Velveeta, substitute 8 ounces of cream cheese for half of the Velveeta block.
  • Keep this dip warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting in your slow cooker for parties.
