Velveeta Cheese Dip Recipe (Best Served Cold?? – Cheree Says It’s The BEST!)

Velveeta Cheese Dip – Best Served Cold!

Cheree’ here! Listen y’all, this Cheese Dip Recipe is literally famous in our family (and beyond)! I’ve been making it for a gazillion years and my 4 kiddos grew up eating it.

So when they all went off to college and grew up they all wanted the recipe, and when their friends ate it they wanted the recipe ……. and when those friend’s friends tried it they  wanted the recipe and so on –  whew!

Let me just say I’ve had my share of phone calls from my children (already at the grocery store) needing this recipe. 🙂

🍴MENU TIP:  This dip is also found in our Celebration Menu Planning Made Easy Set! 

A bit of dip history:

I grew up eating at a Mexican restaurant in northeast Arkansas called Pancho’s. If you’re from the area you will know it.

Like how restaurants now serve salsa and chips on the table, they would serve cheese dip, hot dip and chips. We loved it! This recipe came to be so we could have Pancho’s cheese dip at home any time we got the craving.

It’s served cold and made in a blender which sounds completely crazy but I promise, promise, promise it works! You can warm it up too if you want, but the beauty of it cold is that it stays on the chip which is kind of awesome.

Ingredients needed for Velveeta Cheese Dip:

• 1 lb Velveeta cheese
• 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes
• 5 oz can evaporated milk
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder

How to make Cheree’s cheese dip:

This is the simplest Velveeta cheese dip recipe on the planet. It’s perfect for game days or a quick appetizer! 

Just cube 1 pound Velveeta cheese right into a blender, top with a can of Rotel tomatoes, a small (5 oz) can of evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. That’s it!

Blend those ingredients right up until the cheese dip is smooth like a nacho cheese sauce would be.

Pour into a bowl and serve cold with some tortilla chips or try some of our other suggestions below.

I know, I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s so, so good!  The Rotel tomatoes give just enough kick (and I LOVE that there are mild or hot options for Rotel now too!).

I mean you can pop it in the microwave a few seconds if you want and prefer it that way, I won’t hold it against you.  (You can also throw this all in the slow cooker too and warm it up).

If you want to jazz it up a little more, you can even add in ground beef, extra diced tomatoes, green chiles, pre shredded cheeses – however you want to make up this queso dip.  The beauty of this recipe is that you really can make it in the blender, stove top, crock pot – however you like.  If you prefer it to be more creamy, you could even try adding in sour cream or cream cheese.

We LOVE it cold and made in the blender with the recipe we gave, but either way you make it, it’s some really good stuff! 

Here are a few options of what to Dip in Cheese Fondue or Cheese Dip:

Most of the time you can just use tortilla chips for dipping in this cheese dip.

However, if you want to try something a little different, you can try bell peppers, mini peppers, Serrano peppers, jalapeños, bread, potatoes, or meatballs!  It’s delicious, so really anything that complements a cheesy dip will be perfect 🙂

Be warned…..it’s highly addictive! You’re welcome. 😉
