Ingredients:
- 1 onion 🧅
- 3 tablespoons butter 🧈
- 2 cans Rotel tomatoes & chilies 🍅🌶️
- 1 can stewed tomatoes 🍅
- 2 cups Velveeta cheese, cubed 🧀
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 🧀
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Saute onion in butter. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. |
| 2. | Cook tomatoes until thick. Once the onions are soft, add the cans of Rotel tomatoes & chilies and the stewed tomatoes to the saucepan. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have thickened and reduced slightly, about 10-15 minutes. |
| 3. | Add cheeses and cook until smooth. Gradually add the cubed Velveeta cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the tomato mixture, stirring constantly until the cheeses are completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. This should take about 10-15 minutes. |
| 4. | Refrigerate overnight. Remove the queso dip from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate the dip overnight to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect consistency and flavor. |
| 5. | Heat and serve. When you’re ready to serve, gently reheat the queso dip in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated to your desired temperature. Enjoy the creamy goodness with tortilla chips, nachos, or your favorite dippable snacks! |
Tips:
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to the dip.
- Customize the dip by adding diced jalapeños, black beans, or cooked ground beef for a heartier variation.
- Don’t rush the cooking process; low and slow is the key to achieving a smooth and velvety texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Simply reheat as needed for a quick and delicious snack.
- Double or triple the recipe for larger gatherings or parties, as this dip is sure to disappear quickly!
