dipping in rotel dip

Last Updated on 2021-08-09 by Linda

Rotel Dip is an easy cheesy versatile dip that needs just minutes to prepare! With only 3 ingredients, this quick dip recipe has been a crowd pleaser for years! For me it dates back to the early 80’s, yep you read that right. I was introduced to this delight while living in Saudi Arabia.


Fast forward to when we moved back home this delight disappeared from my life.  I mean honestly Rotel was not a big name in Canada for many years. Imagine my delight when grocery shopping at Giant Tiger I noticed cans of Rotel on the self. I may have done a happy dance.

Rotel Dip for an Appetizer

Rotel dip is a nice and easy recipe very similar to a queso dip or Taco cheese dip, and can be made with just three simple ingredients! It is a creamy and slightly decadent app that will have you hovering over the bowl  Betcha cant dip just one chip.

For those of you who don’t know what “Rotel” is- it’s just a can of diced tomatoes packed with a little green chilies. Click to Tweet A delicacy I said earlier I was introduced to when we lived in Saudi Arabia. Apparently all my Texan friends knew about this long before the rest of us.

This is a popular Football appetizer but heck I opted for an all sports will due attitude. Hot dips work with hockey as well as football am I right?

You can sub cream cheese or a spicier ground meat if you prefer.  I also have heard of some folks adding a few additional spices for a unique flavour.

How to Make Rotel Dip

The perfect appetizer,  Rotel Dip couldn’t get any easier to make or any easier to serve and eat, lol.

  1. Start by browning your hamburger in a frying pan until cooked through.
  2. As it’s cooking, cube the Velveeta cheese.
  3. Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, stir in the cubes of Velveeta cheese and the Rotel.
  4. Stir regularly as it melts and then it’s ready to serve

SUBSTITUTIONS:

MEAT:  you can substitute spicy sausage for the ground beef if you prefer a little heat.

CHEESE: Switch the half of the Velveeta for one 8-oz brick of cream cheese — the result will be extra creamy. Some people have tried using just cream cheese but that to me is not Rotel Dip.

Serve with:

I am a traditionalist so give you nacho chips any day.  Scoops work best to ensure a loving spoonful.  I also love having a tray of veggies so we can pretend its a healthy option to the other snacks.

If you are a dip person you might want to also check out my Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip, easily made in the Crockpot or maybe the 7 Layer Dip is more your style.
