Description

A creamy and cheesy Velveeta Queso dip with ground beef and black beans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Rotel tomatoes, partially drained
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and add beef broth. Simmer 4–5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low. Add Velveeta and pepper jack cheese, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in black beans, red onion, and cilantro.
  5. Add tomatoes, adjusting liquid for desired consistency. Heat through for about 5 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

  • Beef or chicken broth works well as a replacement for beer.
  • Can be made in a slow cooker: brown beef first, then combine all ingredients and heat on low 4–5 hours or high 2 hours.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
