Caramelized onions, ground beef, taco seasoning, and CHEESE in this EASY queso dip everyone loves!! Great for game days, PARTIES, holidays, and events!!
one 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoningI used reduced sodium
½cupwater
two 10-ounce cans Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles
32ouncesVelveeta Original Cheese Loafdiced into 1-inch cubes
3 to 4tablespoonsfresh cilantro leavesfor garnishing
tortilla chipsfor serving
Instructions
To a large Dutch oven, add the ground beef, onion, and cook over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until beef is cooked through and onions are lightly caramelized. Break up the ground beef as it cooks and stir the onions frequently. If your beef is fattier than mine or there’s excess oil/water, drain it before proceeding; I didn’t need to.
Add the taco seasoning, water (note this is less water than the packet calls for), and stir to combine.
Add the Ro-Tel and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the Velveeta, and cover to encourage cheese to melt. Stir every minute or so until cheese has melted.
Garnish with cilantro before serving with chips.
Notes
Queso is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently as necessary.
