Notes

If you want your dip thinner, stir In 1/2 cup of milk.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.  The dip does get thick when it's refrigerated, so add in milk or water when reheating to thin the dip out.  
Recipe Tips
This dip is so easy to adapt to what your preference is. It is so easy and one of the best dips. I love that you can easily add or omit things if you prefer a really spicy dip or like things more mild. It is really easy to make to suit your taste.
  • 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 1/2 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.
Variations Ideas
  • 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.
