Texas dip

Texas Dip, often referred to as "Cowboy Crack" or "Rotel Dip," is a warm, cheese-based dip popular in the United States, particularly in the Southern and Southwestern regions. It is characterized by its relatively simple preparation and use of readily available ingredients. The dish typically consists of processed cheese, often Velveeta, combined with diced tomatoes and green chilies, commonly Rotel brand. Ground beef or sausage is frequently added for a heartier dip, though vegetarian versions are also common. Onions, garlic, jalapeños, and various spices can be incorporated to enhance the flavor profile.

Texas Dip is commonly served hot, either directly from a slow cooker, stovetop, or oven. It is typically eaten with tortilla chips, but can also be enjoyed with vegetables such as celery or bell peppers. The dip is often served at parties, tailgates, and informal gatherings due to its ease of preparation and crowd-pleasing nature. The recipe has many variations, reflecting regional and personal preferences.
