Ground Beef Queso Dip 🧀🌶️

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

• 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), drained

• 1 (16 oz) block Velveeta cheese, cubed

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup milk (optional, for desired consistency)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• Tortilla chips, for serving

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

◦ In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

◦ Drain excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning.

2. Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker:

◦ Transfer the cooked beef to your slow cooker. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, and onion powder.

◦ Stir to combine the ingredients.

3. Cook the Dip:

◦ Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is creamy.

◦ If the dip is too thick, stir in the milk a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

4. Serve:

◦ Once the queso dip is ready, transfer it to a serving dish or leave it in the slow cooker on the "WARM" setting.

◦ Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
