High Protein, Lower Calorie Rotel Dip
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Lean Ground Meat Can use breakfast sausage
- 1/2 M-L Onion, I used red
- 1/2 Can Rotel
- 1/4 C Nutritional Yeast Optional
- 1/2-1 Pckg Taco seasoning or diy
- 2 C Blended Cottage cheese
- 1 C Shredded Cheese, I used a 4 cheese blend
- Reserved rotel liquid to create the desired consistency
Optional: A can of diced jalapenos or green chilies, cayenne, more cheese if desired
Instructions
- Brown ground beef with the diced onion.
- Add 1/2 can of the rotel, mostly drained.
- Add nutritional yeast
- Add taco seasoning. I just create mine from single ingredients added to the skillet, that's why it doesn't look like packaged taco seasoning.
- Stir to mix well. Reduce heat to med-low and add cottage cheese.
- Add shredded cheese.
- Stir until melted. Add liquid slowly until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning. Depending on your taco seasoning used, you might need salt and pepper. Add more heat as desired. Serve as is if desired or add toppings. My family is so picky so we just add what we want to our own bowls.
