Hamburger Dip
Description
Hamburger Dip starts with seasoned ground beef cooked and drained, ensuring a juicy base without excess fat. Salsa is optionally blended to a smooth consistency to balance texture and flavor. Combining salsa, Rotel-style diced tomatoes with green chilies, and a block of Velveeta cheese in the skillet creates a creamy, cohesive dip heated until all ingredients meld. The mixture maintains a comforting thickness that clings well to dippers. It can be served immediately or kept warm in a crock pot to share at events.
The dip delivers a mix of savory meatiness with the slightly chunky or smooth texture from the salsa and tomatoes, complemented by the melted cheese's creamy body. This contrast suits casual snacking or party settings, pairing particularly well with chips or vegetables for dipping.
Storing the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator preserves it for 3-4 days, and freezing extends longevity to about three months. When reheating, warming gently over low heat or using a microwave prevents separation and keeps the texture creamy. This preparation offers a hearty, crowd-friendly option with minimal finish steps.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic
- 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa medium chunky pace
- 1-2 (10-ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles Rotel brand
- 1 (16-ounce) block Velveeta cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet cook and season beef, drain, and keep in a pan.
- Pour salsa into a blender and mix until smooth (this is an optional step, skip if you like the chunks)
- Put salsa, Rotel, and Velveeta cheese in the skillet and stir until incorporated, melted, and heated. Serve immediately or place in a warm crock pot for any function.
Notes
- Substitute a can of diced tomatoes and a can of diced green chilies for the Rotel tomatoes as a simple alternative.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- When reheating, warm the dip slowly over low heat or use a microwave to maintain smooth consistency.
