Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo sausage (casing removed)
16 oz Velveeta, cubed
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 (10 oz) can Rotel (with liquid)
1/4 cup milk or light beer
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 small jalapeño, minced (optional)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chorizo until browned. Drain the grease.
2. In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine Velveeta, pepper jack, and milk or beer. Stir until melted and smooth.
3. Add the cooked meats, Rotel (with liquid), red onion, and jalapeño. Stir until fully combined and heated through.
4. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
Use beer for a deeper flavor or milk for a creamier taste.
Velveeta melts best for a smooth dip—don’t skip it.
Leftovers reheat well with a splash of milk or beer.
