Make Rotel Dip in your crockpot with Velveeta, ground beef and 2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes. Perfect dip for parties and gameday.
We love a good Velveeta dip like this recipe or my cheeseburger dip too!
What is Rotel?
- Rotel is canned tomatoes with diced green chiles.
- There are different varieties of Rotel such as Original, Hot, Mild, No Salt added and Fire-Roasted. Use whatever variety you like, my store only had the no salt variety due to low stock on items.
How to make Rotel Dip:
- 2 cans of Rotel – Yes! two cans, if you only use one you will have a dip that is too thick.
- Velveeta cheese – A small 1 lb. box.
- Seasonings – I use chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Ground beef – cooked, crumbled, and drained before adding to the slow cooker.
How long do I cook?
- Place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Can I use sausage instead of ground beef?
- Ground sausage is great in this recipe!
- I like to use 1 pound of Jimmy Dean Breakfast sausage.
How can I make this less spicy?
- Rotel tends to be spicy, be sure to use “Mild” if you have any aversion to spicy food.
- Alternatively, you can use mild salsa instead of Rotel.
How can I thin my dip after it’s been on the warm setting for too long?
- The dip will thicken with time if left on the warm setting for a length of time while serving.
- Add a splash of milk to thin the dip.

I make mine the same way but use 2 lbs of velveeta, makes a ton of dip!
In stead of velveeta cheese try cream cheese
I make it with ground beef and sausage.
I’ve made this recipe with sausage in place of ground beef and cream cheese instead of Velveeta. It’s also excellent.
Can you use shredded chicken instead of found beef?
I don’t see why not!
This looks really good. The only change I would make would be to drain on of the cans of tomatoes. Can’t wait to try it.
I’ve made this dip for years, and was one of the recipes requested by my daughter in law after they were married.
This dip is the easy way to my son’s heart!!!
