Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat (if using)

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, pork, or chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

    Prepare the Queso Dip

    In a large saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and milk. Stir well to combine.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Melt the Ingredients

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the cheeses have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Meat

    If using, add the cooked ground meat to the queso dip and stir until well combined.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm with tortilla chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
