Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef I used 93% lean
- 1 onion diced small, medium sweet Vidalia or yellow
- taco seasoning I used reduced sodium, one 1.25-ounce packet
- ½ cup water
- diced tomatoes two 10-ounce cans Ro-Tel brand
- green chiles two 10-ounce cans Ro-Tel brand
- 32 ounces Velveeta cheese diced into 1-inch cubes, Original Cheese Loaf
- 3 to 4 tablespoons cilantro for garnishing, fresh leaves
- tortilla chips for 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.
