Ingredients

1 pound 90/10 ground beef Lean beef for a less greasy dip
2 ¼ teaspoons chili powder Adds a mild heat and depth of flavor
1 ½ teaspoons onion powder For a savory base flavor
2 teaspoons garlic powder Provides a punch of garlic taste
16 ½ ounces Velveeta cheese cubed Creamy and melts perfectly
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies Gives a tangy kick to the dip

For Serving:

Minced fresh cilantro Optional, adds a fresh herby flavor
Sliced green onions Optional for a mild onion crunch
Diced tomatoes Optional adds freshness and color
Corn tortilla chips For dipping and crunch

Method

Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, for 8–10 minutes.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Add the Velveeta cubes and the Rotel tomatoes to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has completely melted, about 5 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and diced tomatoes, if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
