Cook ground beef, then drain. Add it to cubed Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, Rotel tomatoes with juice, ground cumin and garlic powder in a slow cooker.
Cover and cook in slow cooker for 2 hours on LOW or 1 hour on HIGH. Stir several times to break up any lumps. Continue to cook on low until completely melted. Once the mixture is melted, set to WARM so the cheese won't harden during your party.
Garnish with diced peppers, extra ground beef and chopped green onions if desired. Serve straight from the slow cooker with dippers.
If preferred, garnish and serve in a decorative dish with tortilla chips and sliced sweet peppers.

Velveeta melts smoother and doesn’t separate which gives you that restaurant style texture. Slice the Velveeta into cubes so it melts evenly and quickly.
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk.
If the mixture becomes too thin, stir in extra cream cheese or shredded cheddar.
Stir occasionally during cooking for the best texture, and also while warming in the crockpot to keep it creamy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the slow cooker on warm with a splash of milk to smooth it out.
