Perfect for any last-minute parties, impromptu movie marathons, or any odd Thursday night, Ro-Tel Dip is perhaps the easiest dip to assemble, heat up, and dive into. Plus, it all comes together in one pot, so you can say goodbye to washing all those extra dishes and say hello to enjoying the rest of your day. It\u2019s also the perfect dip to make and keep warm in a <u>slow cooker<\/u> for events that run hours long (<u>Super Bowl Sunday<\/u>, anyone?). But even if this dip might be simple to put together, I&#8217;ve found a few ways to take it truly over the top\u2014here&#8217;s everything you need to know: <strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"recipe-intro.2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\"><strong>What People Are Saying:<\/strong><br \/>&#8220;Just made this a second ago!

Alternatively, beef can be swapped for pork sausage if you prefer pork flavor over beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ro-Tel:<\/strong> One can of Ro-Tel tomatoes adds just enough tomatoes and green chiles for a balanced dip. Add the entire can, juices and all, to the pot. Can&#8217;t find Ro-Tel at the store? You can also use petite diced tomatoes instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Velveeta Cheese:<\/strong> Velveeta cheese melts the best for dips, so this recipe calls for 1 pound. Make sure to get the original yellow Velveeta so the final cheese sauce is yellow, not the queso blanco\u2014that will pick up the color of the ground beef.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-node-id=\"recipe-intro.10\" class=\"body-h4 css-srolc5 emevuu60\"><strong>STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"recipe-intro.11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, stirring frequently, until browned, which will take about 5 minutes.
