Can I use regular Velveeta if I can’t find Queso Blanco?

Absolutely! Regular Velveeta melts just as smoothly and makes a tasty, more classic yellow queso dip. The flavor will be a bit different, but still delicious.

How do I keep my queso warm for a party?

The best way is to transfer it to a small slow cooker set on the “keep warm” setting. Fondue pots or even insulated serving bowls also work great so the cheese stays gooey.

Is there a way to make this dip a little healthier?

You can use reduced-fat Velveeta, add extra vegetables like spinach or diced tomatoes, or serve with raw veggies instead of chips. The flavor is still amazing, but with a lighter twist.

What if my dip turns out too thick or too thin?

If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and stir in over low heat until it loosens up. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for a couple extra minutes or add more cheese cubes.

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Dice the Velveeta Queso Blanco into small cubes to ensure even melting and open the can of Rotel, draining slightly if desired for a thicker consistency.
Combine: Place the cubed Velveeta and the can of Rotel into a medium-sized saucepot.
Melt: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the ingredients are fully combined to a smooth, creamy dip.
Serve: Serve the dip warm, ideally with tortilla chips, butter crackers, or veggie dippers. For best flavor, keep the dip heated or reheat as needed.

Notes

Can be made a day ahead of time; store in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
Serve with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, butter crackers, or fresh veggies.
Enhance the dip by adding cooked ground beef, chorizo, or sausage for a heartier option.
Increase heat by adding diced jalapenos or using a spicier variety of Rotel.
This dip can be frozen for longer storage; thaw and reheat on the stovetop before serving.
You may substitute regular Velveeta if Queso Blanco is unavailable.
