Creamy Rotel Dip
- Ready in just 15 minutes!
- Perfect for game nights or casual gatherings.
- Customizable with your favorite toppings and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
How to Make
To make this scrumptious Creamy Rotel Dip, start by combining the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds until the cheeses begin to soften and meld together. Then, add the can of Rotel tomatoes (drained for a thicker dip) and stir thoroughly. Next, season your dip with garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. If you’re looking for extra creaminess, fold in the sour cream. Heat the mixture in the microwave for an additional minute, stirring halfway through. When it’s fully blended and bubbly, your dip is ready to serve!
Tips
- Make it spicy: Add extra chili powder or a splash of hot sauce!
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the cheese is rennet-free.
Make-Ahead
This dip can be prepped ahead of time. Simply follow the preparation steps up to the heating process, cover and refrigerate it for a day or two. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave.
Storing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for quick enjoyment!
Freezing
This dip can be frozen, but the texture may slightly change once thawed. Freeze in an airtight bag or container for up to 3 months.
Reheating
To reheat, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30-second intervals until hot and bubbly.
