    ✨ Here is why this Rotel dip amazing:

    • The perfect dip to go with tortilla chips, bagel chips, crackers, or veggies.
    • Everyone love this vevleeta queso dip and the slow cooker makes for easy transportation to parties.

    🥫 Ingredients needed to make Velveeta Cheese Dip:

    ingredients for rotel dip in glass bowls with text overlays. ground beeg, ground pork, velveeta, cream cheese, rotel, chili poweder.

    Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities.

    📝 Ingredient notes:

    • Ground Beef - I use 80/20 ground beef.
    • Ground Sausage - ground pork sausage, sweet italian or spicy sausage.
    • Velveeta - Full fat, cut into cubes. I find that the low fat version separates.
    • Cream cheese - regular cream cheese.
    • Rotel - petite, diced tomatoes with green chilis and spices. Do not drain.
    • Chili powder - optional but I suggest it for another layer of flavor.

    🔄 Substitutions

    • All ground beef or all pork sausage can be used.
    • Use petite, diced tomatoes with green chilis in place of the name brand Rotel.
    • Use Mild, hot, fire rosted Rotel or Serrano Rotel in place of the original Rotel.
    • For a dairy free option leave out the cream cheese and switch out the Velveeta for your favorite dairy free cheese. Wayfare cheddar cheese is my non-dairy cheese of choice for this recipe.

    🥣 Helpful Kitchen Tools

    • Cast Iron Skillet - I love the heat retention of cast iron. It gives beautiful carmalization to the meat when browning the meat.
    • Slow Cooker - set it and forget it, keeping your cheese dip from brurning.

    🔪 How to make Rotel dip, basic instructions

    1. Start by browning the ground beef and ground sausage in a skillet until cooked through and no longer pink.
    2. While the meats are cooking, cube the Velveeta cheese and the cream cheese.
    3. Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, stir in the cubes of Velveeta cheese and the Rotel.
    4. Transfer the meat mixture into a crockpot or slow cooker and add the rest of the ingredients.
    5. Stir to combine and set on low, cooking for 2 hours, stirring half way through.

    What to serve with rotel cream cheese dip

    Traditionally tortilla chips, bagel chips, crackers, or veggies are what is served with Rotel cream cheese dip. I also will serve warm sausage and cheese dip over baked potatoes, tatter tots or french fries.

    ❄️ Storage Tips

    Store leftover Rotel dip in air tight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week. Rotel sausage cream cheese dip freezes well in freezer safe containers, Be sure to remove as much air as possible from the container to avoid freezer burn.

    ♨️ Reheating Velveeta Queso Instructions

    I will reheat the sausage queso in a microwave-safe dish in 30-second increments, stirring in between heating until warmed through. Another option is to warm it in a small saucepan on medium heat, stirring, until heated through.
