Rotel Dip Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

  use 80/20 – or you can use Italian sausage
• 1 tablespoon taco seasonings

  or more to taste – I usually use 2 tablespoons
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  if needed
• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 cup milk

  2 percent, whole milk, or half and half for fuller flavor
• 1 can Rotel

  Use your favorite – I’m using the fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies variety
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• For Serving. Crispy tortilla chips

  fresh chopped green onion or cilantro, red chili flakes

Instructions

• 1 Heat a large skillet or pan to medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it
  apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the taco seasonings
  and salt and pepper to taste. Cook another 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through.
  Remove the meat to a bowl and set aside, but keep 3 tablespoons of the beef
  drippings (or add oil, as needed).
• 2 Add the flour and stir into a thin paste/roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5
  minutes, to cook out the raw flour. The flour will darken a bit.
• 3 Add the milk and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• 4 Add the can of Rotel with liquid and cream cheese. Stir until incorporated.
• 5 Add the shredded cheddar cheese a bit at a time and continuously stir until
  melted through.
• 6 Stir in the cooked ground meat until well incorporated.
• 7 Garnish and serve with tortilla chips.
