Velveeta Cheese Dip with Rotel and more!

• Velveeta – Velveeta is the brand name of a processed cheese product that tastes something like American cheese, but is softer and smoother. As a result, it’s the perfect product for clump-free melting.
• Ro-Tel Tomatoes – Ro-Tel is the brand name of canned diced tomatoes with green chilies. The cans are available in varying degrees of spiciness and hotness to suit every taste bud. Ro-Tel makes ordinary appetizers and dishes come alive with the bold, festive flavor of the Southwest.
• The Dippers – Hearty dips call for sturdy dippers – you need a stable platform to support all that good creamy stuff. Some suggestions are corn tortillas, raw veggies, chunks of crusty bread, or even thick-sliced sausage (like kielbasa). Consider cutting pita bread into triangles then brushing lightly with olive oil and toasting in the oven.

Variations to your Velveeta Rotel Dip

There are endless possible variations on the basic Velveeta and Ro-Tel dip. For instance, you can throw in some veggies such as green peppers or celery. If you have used a mild Ro-Tel and you don’t think your dip will have enough heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or pinches of dried chili flakes. You can even add a can or bottle of beer for a delicious, unusual twist. Here are a few more ideas.

• Zippy Salsa Cheese Dip – add some mild or spicy salsa.
• Uber-Yummy Chili-Cheese Dip – add a can of chili (with beans).
