Rotel Dip Creamy
- ✨ Quick and easy to prepare, ready in just 15 minutes!
- 🌶️ Spicy kick from the Rotel tomatoes combined with creamy cheese for a delightful flavor.
- 🧀 Versatile dip that can be served with tortilla chips, veggies, or even as a topping for baked dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat
How to Make
In a medium saucepan, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream over low heat. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and blended smoothly. Add in the Rotel tomatoes (drained for a less watery dip), shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir well to combine, letting the mixture heat through until the cheeses are fully melted and the dip is warm and creamy. For added heat, mix in sliced jalapeños at this stage. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggies or your favorite dippables!
Tips
- Use a block of cream cheese rather than cream cheese spread for best results.
- Feel free to swap in your favorite cheese for a unique flavor twist!
Make-Ahead

Storing
