If I am at  Mexican restaurant and there is Queso dip on the menu I order it!  I have discovered that it is easy to make queso dip at home and just as delicious.

Queso Dip

This easy queso dip is simple to make, and delicious. I have tried queso dips that use Cheddar Cheese but it just doesn’t melt as nicely or have as good a texture as when you use Velveeta.

Ingredients

  • Velveeta Cheese
  • Cream Cheese
  • Rotel Diced Tomatoes
  • Green Chilies
  • Tomatoes
  • Green Onions
  • Jalapeños
  • Garlic
  • Cilantro
Queso Dip with peppers

How to make Easy Queso Dip

I use a combination of Velveeta cheese and cream cheese because I think it gives it a better and smoother texture than just straight Velveeta.

  • Melt cheese and cream cheese in microwave in a large bowl.  Stir until smooth. This can also be done in a pan on the stove top. Stir often.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips.

Tips

  • The easiest way to keep queso dip warm is to put it in your slow cooker.  It works best if you use a smaller slow cooker such as a 4 qt or smaller.  Be sure and stir occasionally. 
  • If you serve it in a bowl, just pop it back in the microwave every so often to warm it up.
