Beefy White Queso Dip

Are you ready for the Big Game this Sunday? Trademarks prevent me from referring to it as any more than this, but I think you know what I'm talking about...

You know, THE GAME that some people watch for the football, while others watch for the halftime show, and still others (like me) watch for the commercials. I think I probably watch more commercials on this single night than the rest of the year combined. Mad appreciation for the DVR!

Regardless of why you're watching, snacks on big game days are always appreciated, and easy dip recipes make snacking simple and delicious... And they just don't get much easier than this white queso dip with meat. Make this Velveeta queso recipe in a large skillet on the stove top or in your crock pot if you want to take it on the go — so versatile!!

Ingredients for Velveeta Queso Recipe With Ground Beef

Who doesn't love a good Rotel dip recipe?! I mean, they're always a huge hit, and this easy hamburger dip recipe made with a can of Rotel tomatoes is no exception...

My beef queso dip is a simple take on the classic Velveeta Rotel dip. But instead of using the regular yellow Velveeta, I use the Velveeta queso blanco, a mild and creamy white cheese. Then I add browned ground beef, along with the Rotel, and some chopped green onions for a bit of bite.

That's right — this cheesy Rotel dip with beef is just FOUR ingredients, and SOOOOOO creamy and delicious!

Here's What You Need:

browned ground beef — I purchase all of my ground beef from ButcherBox. All of their ground beef is 100% grass-fed & grass-finished from cows that are humanely raised with no added hormones and no antibiotics ever.

In other words, it's super high quality and actually very affordable, especially when they offer their Ground Beef Blast deals. That's when I always stock my freezer, because it works out to just $6 per pound!!

Velveeta queso blanco — Velveeta queso blanco has a milder flavor than regular Velveeta. It melts to a super smooth and creamy consistency, and makes the best white queso dip (in my opinion)... This Velveeta hamburger dip recipe wouldn't be the same without it!

Rotel tomatoes & green chilies — Classic Rotel is such a classic way to add great flavor to any cheesy dip! The original variety, which features zesty tomatoes and green chilies, is pretty mild, but they do also offer an actual mild Rotel variety if you prefer absolutely no heat.

On the other hand, they also offer a habanero hot Rotel variety — just in case you really want to spice this Velveeta queso recipe up Or we can just meet in the middle with the hatch chili Rotel, which is my personal favorite!

chopped green onions --green onions provide some freshness and a little bite in this simple recipe. The green parts are a little milder, with the white parts being more pungent. I use a combo of both mixed into the dip, while reserving some of the greens to sprinkle over the top before serving.

BTW, check out this spicy sausage dip, if you're looking for a cheese dip with meat that's a little spicier than this Velveeta cheeseburger dip recipe...

How To Make Velveeta Cheese Dip

Whether you choose to make this Velveeta cheese dip recipe on the stove top or in your crock pot, I think you'll agree that it's as easy as can be!

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it's cooking. One of these ground meat choppers really simplifies this step! When the hamburger meat is sufficiently browned, drain off any excess grease.
2. Stovetop: to prepare this Velveeta queso recipe on the stovetop, just leave the browned hamburger in the skillet and dump in 2 cans of Rotel. Add the cubed blocks of queso blanco to the hamburger Rotel mixture. Cook over medium-low heat until fully combined, stirring frequently.
3. Crockpot: to make this hamburger cheese dip in your slow cooker, transfer the browned ground beef to the crockpot insert, and dump the 2 cans of Rotel in with it. Choose your desired heat setting depending on when you want to serve your dip. Heat stirring occasionally until fully combined, about one hour on low heat. Turn heat down to "keep warm".
