I love how the creamy melted Velveeta hugs the seasoned ground beef, creating a nostalgic, utterly satisfying dip that disappears in minutes.
Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Dip
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 pound Velveeta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Do not drain the fat; it adds flavor.
- Add the finely diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, then add the chili powder and ground cumin. Stir to combine.
- Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously in a figure-eight motion until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with kosher salt if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or transfer to a slow cooker on the warm setting to keep it melty.
Creamy, cheesy, and packed with savory beef, this dip is pure comfort in every bite. I love serving it with crunchy tortilla chips for texture contrast, but it's also amazing spooned over hot dogs or fries for an indulgent twist.

Each spoonful offers a luscious, velvety base punctuated by tender beef and spicy jalapeño pops. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips, crunchy celery sticks, or toasted baguette slices to scoop every last bit. End your meal on a high note—this dip is both comfort and celebration in one dish.
