A creamy, cheesy dip made with Velveeta cheese, spicy Rotel tomatoes, and ranch dressing. Perfect for any gathering or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 block Velveeta cheese (16 oz), cubed
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, to thin out the queso)
  • Tortilla chips or your favorite dipping items (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan or slow cooker, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, Rotel diced tomatoes, and ranch dressing.
  2. Stir occasionally while heating over medium heat (if using the stove) or on low in a slow cooker until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  3. If the queso is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Once the queso is fully melted and creamy, remove from heat. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your choice of dipping items.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave with a bit of milk to bring it back to the perfect dipping consistency.
  • For a more filling dip, add ground beef or sausage.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as long as the ranch dressing and Rotel tomatoes don’t contain gluten.
