How to Make Roadkill

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium chopped onion together over medium-high heat. Season with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. While the beef is cooking, cube 16 oz of Velveeta cheese into small pieces.
  3. Transfer the cooked beef and onion to a slow cooker. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and 10 oz can of undrained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies.
  4. Cook on high for 1-2 hours, or until the Velveeta is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat to low to keep warm. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
