Notes
- Rotel Dip With Cream Cheese
- Rotel Dip With Cream Cheese
- Another way to make this dip is to skipped the processed cheese aka Velveeta cheese and use cream cheese instead.
- Instead of the Velveeta use an 8 ounce package of cream cheese. If you need to thing out the dip add a little milk after the cream cheese melts.
- Can You Use Cheddar Cheese Instead Of Velveeta?
- Can You Use Cheddar Cheese Instead Of Velveeta?
- I don’t recommend using cheddar cheese for this dip it does not melt as well as Velveeta cheese and your dip won’t be smooth and creamy. Processed cheese is the way to go!

- You can use the same amount of salsa. I recommend a chunky-style red salsa that’s not too runny.
- It will have a slightly different flavor, but it’s still delicious!
- Are You Supposed To Drain Rotel?
- Are You Supposed To Drain Rotel?
- You don’t need to drain it for this recipe. Just add it all to the browned beef.
- Can I Make Rotel Dip In The Crock Pot?
- Can I Make Rotel Dip In The Crock Pot?
- Yes you can! It makes it super easy to keep warm during your party or bring to the party.
- Add your browned hamburger to the Crock Pot, plus your Rotel tomatoes and cheese. We usually cube up the cheese before adding it. A mini crockpot will work great for this.
- Cook it on low for 2-3 hours in the slow cooker and stir it occasionally until it’s melted. When it’s melted turn the crock pot to warm so the cheese dip doesn’t burn.
