Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 works great)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 (16 oz) block Velveeta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon (6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Prep the crockpot: Lightly spray the inside of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Layer the ingredients: Add cubed Velveeta to the bottom of the crockpot. Pour undrained Rotel over the top. Add cooked ground beef, black beans, and frozen corn. Do not stir yet.
  4. Add the milk: Pour 1/2 cup milk over everything.
  5. Cook on low: Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. After 1 hour, stir well. Stir again at the 2-hour mark until smooth and fully combined.
  6. Adjust consistency: If too thick, stir in an additional 1/4 cup milk. If too thin, leave lid off for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve and garnish: Switch crockpot to warm setting. Top with desired garnishes and serve directly from the crockpot with tortilla chips.

Notes

Brown the beef thoroughly for best flavor. Cut Velveeta into even cubes for even melting. Do not over-stir; stir once at 1 hour and once at 2 hours. If your crockpot runs hot, check at 90 minutes. The milk is essential for the right consistency. For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños and use hot Rotel. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated on the stovetop with a splash of milk.
