Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Use spicy Rotel for an extra kick, or mild Rotel if you prefer a less spicy dip.
- For a smokier flavor, swap the ground beef for chorizo or add a pinch of smoked paprika.
- If the dip thickens over time, stir in a splash of milk to keep it smooth and creamy.
- Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker on the low setting for parties or game nights.

Can I use Impossible Burger in this recipe? Should the tomatoes be regular dice or petite dice?
You could try with Impossible Burger – I’ve never tried it. Diced tomatoes – that’s up to you and how chunky you like it! ~Jenn
