- Taco seasoning can be store-bought or homemade for a personalized flavor.
- Drain excess grease from the cooked ground beef to prevent the dip from becoming too oily.
- Use a low or medium heat to gently melt the cheese and prevent burning.
- For a milder dip, choose mild Rotel; for more heat, go for the spicy version.
- Keeping the dip warm in a slow cooker makes it perfect for parties and gatherings.
