Turn a traditional ground beef RoTel dip into a meatless sensation! Creamy cheese sauces, tart tomatoes, and spicy green chilies combine for a perfect appetizer crunchy & salty tortilla chips in this Easy RoTel Dip with No Meat Recipe!
This yummy appetizer is perfect for a snack night dinner or game day couch-gating!
While we make our RoTel dips in the microwave, you could certainly do it in a crockpot. It will just take a bit for the cheese to melt in a slow cooker, so be sure to allow for that. Or, for the cheater’s way: make the dip and transfer it to the slow cooker to keep it warm.
If you read this whole thing, you are going to find a secret. Adding a 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese to the mixture will take the entire dip up a notch. No one will be able to figure it out, but they will love it!
Specialty Ingredients:
The following ingredients are affiliate links on Amazon because they may be a bit hard to find in your normal store. I wanted you to be able to see exactly which things we are using.
Velveeta Cheese – I have bought store brand, but prefer Velveeta. The other is kind of chalky while Kraft stays creamy.
Ro Tel – While I am bad about buying store brand foods, there are certain things I do not skimp on. RoTel is one of them.
That’s it! Only two ingredients in the Easy RoTel Dip with No Meat Recipe. That makes this one of the easiest ever, warm dip recipes around.
