Easy Velveeta Queso

I’m no stranger to Mexican appetizers, especially chips and dip. Two of my favorite dips aresalsa and queso, and this Velveeta queso tastes like a combination of both. It’s made with Velveeta cheese and diced tomatoes and tastes amazing served with fresh tortilla chips.

This is one of those recipes that is nice to have in your back pocket along with my sausage rotel dip. All you need are 2 simple ingredients. It’s super creamy and yummy! Perfect for when you need a super last-minute EASY appetizer (or late-night snack).

This recipe is easy to cut in half and easy to double for a crowd. It’s perfect for game day or to add to a nacho barwhen hosting a dinner party. We love serving it with my 7-layer dip or jalapeno dip.

Another thing that makes it great is that it can be made in either the microwave or slow cooker – two of the easiest cooking methods out there, in my opinion! So simple and delicious.

These two ingredients are so simple and are pantry staples to always have on hand! When you need a quick appetizer or dip, this is your go-to queso. It is so simple to make with all the flavors combined!

• Velveeta cheese: This is a smooth and creamy cheese that you can find in a large block or brick at your local grocery store. It is also known as liquid gold!
• RO*TEL: Grab a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies to make this simple Velveeta cheese queso dip!

How to make Queso with Velveeta

Make this Velveeta queso two ways! Choose the quicker way with a microwave or if you are throwing a party the slow cooker way is best. Each way is a great option!

• Microwave method: Place Velveeta cubes and diced tomatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes, then stir and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until smooth. Transfer to a crockpot and keep on a warm setting until ready to serve.
• Crockpot method: Place Velveeta cubes and diced tomatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Cook on low for 1-2 hours, or until the dip is smooth. Turn to keep warm setting until ready to serve.

Tips + Variations

Take this two-ingredient dip to the next level with extra ingredients and variations to try. It is so simple and already comes with all the flavor but make it even better with your creation!

• Add meat: Cook up 1/2 pound of hot breakfast sausage until brown and then add into the queso as I did in this sausage cream cheese Rotel dip.
• Extra spicy: Add in 1 chopped jalapeno for extra spice.
• Vegetables: Dice 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 an onion. Saute in 1 Tablespoon oil and add in once they are cooked and tender.
• Can of tomatoes: Use the mild RO*TEL if you don’t like much spice.
• Not a fan of tomatoes: Use half the can of tomatoes if you don’t prefer tomatoes.
• Great for a party: Move to a slow cooker and keep on warm until ready to serve. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving. Serve with chips and this pretzel bites recipe!
• Make it creamy: Add a little heavy cream if you want to thin it out.
• Velveeta options: Use the Velveeta queso blanco for a variation.
