Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked ground beef or sausage (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 jalapeño, diced (optional for heat)
- Tortilla chips, for serving
How to Make
To prepare this delightful Rotel Dip, start by preheating your stovetop over medium heat. In a large saucepan, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and the can of Rotel tomatoes (including the juices). If you’re using ground beef or sausage, add that now. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Season with the garlic powder and onion powder, adding jalapeño if desired for extra spice. Once fully combined, serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers!
Tips
- For an extra creamy texture, use a mix of cream cheese and sour cream.
- Experiment with different cheeses, like pepper jack for added heat.
- For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add more veggies!
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the dip in advance. Simply combine all the ingredients and store in the fridge. When ready to serve, just warm it up in a saucepan until melted and creamy.
Storing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk to regain creaminess.
Freezing
This dip does not freeze well due to the cream cheese and cheese texture, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
Reheating
Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. You can also microwave it in 30-second intervals, mixing in between to ensure even warmth.
Serving Suggestions
This dip is perfect for game day, parties, or as a cozy snack. Serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or even stuffed in baked potatoes for a fun twist. Consider pairing it with a side of guacamole or salsa for extra flavor!
