Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 16 oz Velveeta or processed cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) ROTEL Delicious Tomatoes and Zesty Diced Green Chilies (undrained)

Instructions:

  1. Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and no pink remains.
  2. Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper during the last 2 minutes of browning to toast the spices.
  3. Drain the beef thoroughly in a colander to remove excess fat. Return the meat to the skillet on low heat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the cubed Velveeta and cream cheese to the skillet.
  5. Stir constantly in a circular motion, pressing the cheese against the sides of the pan until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Pour in the entire can of ROTEL Delicious Tomatoes and Zesty Diced Green Chilies, including the liquid.
  7. Stir gently for 2–3 minutes until the tomatoes are evenly distributed and the dip is simmering. Remove from heat immediately.
