Recipe Notes
- Spicy Rotel – If you want the queso dip spicier, use two cans of Rotel. Rotel comes in medium and hot with green chiles, so I usually use one can of hot and one can mild.
- Thinner Consistency – If you want your dip thinner, stir in ½ cup of milk. Slowly stir in until the consistency is what you want.
- Salsa – If you don’t have any canned rotel, mix the cheese and meat with a jar of salsa.
- Processed Cheese – We love the way Velveeta melts creamy, but if you prefer you can make this dip with a block of cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add cream cheese with the velveeta
- If you like it really spicy, add hot sauce.
- Add a can of diced tomatoes with the rotel tomatoes
- Try adding an extra can of green chilis for extra heat.
- Use fire roasted tomatoes for another great flavor idea.
- Use ground sausage or Italian Sausage instead of ground beef.
