Despite its reliance on Velveeta cheese, it’s undeniably delicious, offering a creamy texture with a kick of spice that’s perfect for dipping with your favorite corn chips. While the recipe traditionally calls for Velveeta, you can certainly experiment with real cheese if you’re feeling adventurous.

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
