This is one of many versions of the classic, easy shortcut cheese dip using seasoned ground beef, Velveeta cheese, and a can of Rotel.
It's a definite crowd-pleaser and perfect to make for parties. You can easily double the recipe to feed more people.
After cooking and seasoning the beef, everything gets thrown into the slow cooker until it melts into warm, cheesy goodness. Done and done.
You can serve this dip with tortilla chips, or to keep the carbs lower you can try dipping with baby carrots, cauliflower florets, celery sticks, or pork rinds. Enjoy!

I did not add the 1/2 cup of water used Rotel for the liquid to melt down the cheese .
