Ground Beef: Ground beef gives this dip texture and flavor.
Rotel tomatoes: A can of Rotel adds a bright flavor and heat to this dip. You can choose from mild to hot Rotel depending on your taste.

FAQ
Why is my Rotel dip grainy?
The heat is too high.
Can I substitute something else for the Rotel?
Yes, you can use salsa or a can diced tomatoes with green chiles.
Can the leftovers be reheated?
Reheat in a thick bottom pan or microwave to reheat. If the dip gets too thick you can thin with milk.
