Dip Made With Velveeta Rotell and Ground Beef

Easy dip features real shredded cheese (no Velveeta). This Rotel Dip with cream cheese and ground beef makes a large amount and is perfect to serve a crowd.

I really love slow cooker recipes when I need to keep a dip warm at events that are going to go for several hours or more like a game day, a shower or a cocktail party.

They are also really great when you need to take an appetizer to a potluck or don't want to worry about perfectly timing your guests arrival with bringing a hot dip out of the oven.

I love this Rotel Dip with Cream Cheese, but some of my other favorite crock pot dip recipes are:

• Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip
• Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wing Dip
• Crock Pot Margarita Chicken Dip

Tips and tricks

All about Rotel

Rotel is a brand of diced tomatoes with green chiles. You can find cans of Rotel in most US grocery stores near the canned tomatoes. It comes in a few different varieties- the mild, regular or hot would work well in this dip depending on your spiciness preference.

If you can't find Rotel, you could substitute a can of diced tomatoes and a small can of diced chiles.

Change up the ingredients

While I love my Rotel Dip with ground beef, for a vegetarian version you could simply leave out the ground beef and this would still be a delicious Rotel cheese dip.

Black beans would also be a great addition. You could also sub out the ground beef with turkey or ground sausage.

Recipe FAQs

Can you make this slow cooker dip ahead of time?

One time saving tip is to make the ground beef ahead and keep in in the fridge. You can also assemble the dip in the crock pot ahead of time and then heat up when you're ready.

What to serve with Rotel Dip? Here are some great ideas:
