Rotel Cheese Dip – A Stunning Mess

My grandma usually makes Rotel cheese dip with out meat, though I’ve added some notes to the recipe card under on how you can change that up (in order for you).

What’s Rotel cheese dip?

I’ve seen individuals name this various things, like “cowboy dip” or “ugly dip,” however in our household, we simply name it Rotel. It’s product of Velveeta, a can of Rotel tomatoes, and a pair spices and herbs.

However actually, you can also make this with simply two elements in about 5 minutes. It’s that straightforward!

My grandmother often makes this in a crockpot (or gradual cooker) by including all of the elements and cooking on low till melted. This can be a nice choice if you wish to have this dip sitting out, however nonetheless heat throughout an extended occasion or gathering.

Another choice is to make Rotel cheese dip on the stovetop. You simply add all of the elements to a pan and soften on low warmth, stirring each once in a while.

Find out how to do you make Rotel cheese dip with out Velveeta?

I would be the first to confess that we all the time make this with Velveeta (processed cheese). It’s not an ingredient I take advantage of typically—in truth, that is most likely one of many solely recipes I take advantage of it in. However there’s simply one thing a little bit nostalgic about it to me.

That being stated, you may substitute the processed cheese for cream cheese and a little bit shredded cheddar. The consistency can be a little bit completely different, nevertheless it’s nonetheless scrumptious.

My household usually makes this dip with out meat. However, if you wish to add some cooked floor beef, sausage, or a vegetarian group meat to this dip, it’s an incredible addition!

And, I’m curious, what number of of you make this dip at household get-togethers? I kind of consider it as a Midwest factor, however truthfully I’m not even positive that’s true.

So, let me know within the feedback if your loved ones makes a model of this too. xo. Emma
