Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can ROTEL tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz)

How to Make Rotel Dip Creamy
Begin by browning your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, draining the excess fat once cooked. In your slow cooker, combine the browned beef with the ROTEL tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until well mixed. Set your slow cooker on low for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt into a rich and creamy dip. Stir occasionally and add the rest of the cheddar cheese towards the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra cheesy finish!
Tips
- For a spicier version, use hot ROTEL tomatoes.
- Add chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the ingredients a few hours in advance. Just mix everything and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
Storing
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ensure it’s completely cooled before refrigerating.
Freezing
While it’s best fresh, you can freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheating
Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure it heats evenly without burning.
