Velveeta's Famous Queso Dip ~ The Must Have Football Dip

Hi everyone, some of you may recall that every now and then I have shared a few Velveeta inspired recipes here on Mommy's Kitchen. As one of five Velveeta Kitchenistas it's my turn again to share another yummy recipe. Fall is here so ya'll know what that means, football!

What goes better with football than Velveeta's Famous Queso Dip.? If you ask me queso dip and football go hand in hand. I don't think there has been a football party that I have attended that didn't have this yummy cheesy dip sitting on the table.

What I love most about Queso dip is how versatile it is. You can make it plain with just Velveeta and Ro*tel, or mix things up a bit by adding a few additional ingredients. My favorite way to have Queso dip is over Nachos. I like to make a big crock pot full of queso dip.

This way everyone can just serve themselves with all their favorite Nacho fixings. Ground beef, fajita meat, beans, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes and chili. Velveeta's Queso Dip is such a crowd pleaser. I have added a little video to show you how easy it is to make this famous dip. I hope you enjoy the video followed by the recipe at the end of this post.


Sorry if the ending is a bit shaky, my 10 year old daughter was filming the end. Thank you Mackenzie for helping mommy out.

Queso Dip Mix In's:

Meaty Queso Dip

Chili Con Queso: Add one 15 can Hormel, Wolf brand chili or a can of Chili Beans to the original queso dip recipe.

Go Cowboys! This is our family's favorite football game snack. These are some great mix in ideas. I can't wait to try it with chili and hamburger. And I think your daughter did a fine job helping you video tape.
