    Rotel Dip

    1 review

    Creamy, delicious and made with only four ingredients, this Rotel dip is an absolute showstopper. It gets a bit of heat from the green chiles and chili powder, with a savory complement of ground beef and ooey-gooey Velveeta cheese. Serve it with tortilla chips, sliced veggies, pretzels or whatever else your heart desires. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
