Have been asked to make queso dip and was just going to use Velveta and other easy ingredients unless it's better from scratch.

Believe it or not, I've never had it, so have no idea what the ideal dip is like.

I did a search and the one David suggested was "block cheese."

Thought I would ask before going to the store this morning.

Thanks in advance!

I use Velveeta (either plain or spicy) and a can of Rotel.

You are the winner! 

Am making it for some teen girls, so....I'm thinking that might be most to their liking.

If I was making it for a dinner party of adults, might go the "shallots and garlic saute" route.

I'm confessing to looking for the easy way out!

Yay!! I’ve never won anything.

You can’t go wrong with velveeta and rotel. You can even add cooked ground beef or ground sausage. Easy peasy and that’s my name.

Enjoy!!

This is the recipe I use when I make Queso Dip.  I forgot to add the cream cheese once and, although perfectly acceptable, it wasn't as good (or creamy).  This recipe is made in the crock-pot so it's easy peasy.

Queso Dip

1 (1 lb.) box Velveeta cheese, cubed

4 oz. cream cheese, cubed

1 (10 oz.) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained)

Place ingredients in a 1 1/2-quart crock-pot.  Cover and heat on low 60 minutes to combine flavors.

The Velveeta / Rotel recipe always comes out well.  I would go with that!  Enjoy!  All the add-ins like cream cheese and ground meat sound wonderful too.

I use this recipe for ‘cheeze’ sauce.

Replacing peppers & some water with a can of Rotel to make queso.

Very adaptable....and a 1000x healthier...especially for those

young kid systems who might be lactose intolerant.

the velveeta/rotel queso dip is delicious and always eaten.

i have also added some cooked crumbled sausage or chorizo to it also for a change.

I make a white queso dip:

1 tbsp oil

1/4 cup chopped onion

12 oz thinly sliced white American cheese

4 oz shredded pepper jack cheese

1/2 cup milk

1 diced tomato

Saute onion in hot oil in saucepan over medium-high heat until tender, stirring often.  Over medium-low heat, whisk in cheeses and 1/4 cup milk until melted.  Stir in tomato and other 1/4 cup milk.
