This cheesy, meaty, ridiculously easy queso dip is always a hit! Perfect for game days, parties, or just a lazy snack night at home.

Serve it with tortilla chips, and watch it disappear!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb (16 oz) Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cumin
Pro Tips
- Brown the beef first – It adds way more flavor and keeps the dip from getting greasy.
- Keep it warm – Set your crockpot to “warm” so it stays melty during your party.
- Stir occasionally – This helps everything melt evenly and prevents burning.
- Make it spicy – Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce if you like extra heat!
- Thin it out if needed – If the dip gets too thick, stir in a little more milk.

Make-Ahead Tips
