Notes
- This recipe is naturally gluten free when made with my homemade taco seasoning (or a packet of gluten-free taco seasoning) and served with gluten free crackers, tortilla chips, carrots, celery, or bell peppers for dipping.
- You can make this recipe without meat. It can be made with just the Velveeta and Rotel, or you can add the taco seasoning for even more flavor. If you’d like to replace the ground beef with a vegetarian substitute, I recommend using soy chorizo.
- To make this Rotel dip spicy, use hot Rotel that’s made with habaneros instead of green chilies.
- Store leftover rotel dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Reheat the dip on the stove, in a Crock Pot, or in the microwave.
