2. Melt the Cheese:

  1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the processed cheese, diced tomatoes with chilies (including juices), and chili powder (if using).

Notes

  • Spicy Version: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Creamier Dip: Stir in 4 oz cream cheese or a splash of milk for a smoother texture.
  • Different Meat Options: Try ground turkey, sausage, or shredded chicken instead of ground beef.
  • Vegetarian Alternative: Skip the meat and add black beans or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Loaded Rotel Dip: Mix in  green onions, or diced bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
