ROTEL Chunky Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, 10 Ounce

Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef cooked, crumbled, and drained
1/2 medium Yellow onion diced
1 teaspoon each Chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, seasoned salt
8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
8 ounces Pepper jack cheese cubed
8 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese cubed
8 ounces Cream cheese cubed
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes drained
1/2 cup Milk more if needed for desired consistency
1/4 cup Cilantro chopped (optional but recommended)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it fully cooked and no more pink is showing. Drain off excess grease.
Add the diced onions and all of the seasonings and saute for 1-2 minutes and remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Add the ground beef mixture, all of the cheeses, the milk, and the cilantro to a pre-greased baking dish. You can stir it or leave as-is. Cover the dish with foil and place it in the oven.
Cook the cheese dip for about 20 minutes, remove it from the oven and gently stir it together until everything is fully combined. Add a tablespoon or so of milk if the dip is too thick.
You can eat it right away, or top with shredded cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
Serve & enjoy!
