- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies
- 2.25 pounds ground beef

Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot Base: Set your crockpot to high heat. Add the Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and Rotel tomatoes to the crockpot. Cover and let it begin to melt while preparing the beef.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
