Can I make this in a slow cooker instead of on the stove?

Absolutely! Add both ingredients to your slow cooker and heat on low for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. This is perfect for parties as it will keep the dip warm and at the right consistency for serving.

What's the difference between Velveeta Queso Blanco and regular Velveeta?

Velveeta Queso Blanco has a milder, white cheese flavor compared to the yellow original Velveeta. It's designed to mimic the flavor of Mexican white cheese dips. If you can't find it, regular Velveeta works too, but the flavor profile will be slightly different.

My dip is too thick. How can I thin it out?

If your dip is thicker than you'd like, simply add a splash of milk or half-and-half, one tablespoon at a time, and stir until you reach your desired consistency. For a different flavor, you could also use a bit of beer or chicken broth.

Can I make this dip ahead of time for a party?

Definitely! You can prepare this dip a day ahead, refrigerate it, and then reheat it when you're ready to serve. Just remember it will need to be stirred while reheating to regain its smooth texture.

Instructions

Dice the Velveeta Cheese
Cut the Velveeta queso blanco into small cubes to ensure quick and even melting. Transfer the cubes into a medium-sized saucepot.
Add the Rotel
Open the can of Rotel and pour it directly into the pot with the Velveeta cubes.
Cook and Melt
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and combined with the Rotel to create a smooth and creamy dip.
Serve
Once fully combined, pour the queso blanco dip into a serving dish. Serve it warm with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

This dip can be prepared a day ahead of time. Store it in the fridge, and reheat on the stovetop when ready to serve.
Pair it with dippers like tortilla chips, butter crackers, or fresh veggies like celery and carrots.
Customize the recipe by adding cooked ground beef, chorizo, or sausage for a heartier dip.
Spice it up with diced jalapeños or a spicier variety of Rotel.
Leftovers can be frozen for later use — just thaw and reheat when needed.
While this recipe uses Velveeta Queso Blanco, regular Velveeta can also work in a pinch.
