Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Velveeta Cheese – While Velveeta isn’t the cheese I turn to for most recipes, it’s absolutely perfect in this easy queso recipe. You just can’t beat it’s meltability, and it doesn’t gum up and clump the way that traditional cheese can.
While this traditionally is made with the original Velveeta Cheese, you can also make it with the Velveeta Queso Blanco, Sharp Cheddar, 2% Milk, Mexican or Jalapeno Cheeses. The last two will turn up the heat, so just make sure that is what you are going for.
Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies – The most important thing to take note of is that you are using the Rotel UNDRAINED. You can drain it, but the dip will be thicker. I find that leaving the tomato juices in helps create a wonderful flavor and texture in this dip.
There are a variety of options when it comes to Rotel. You can use the Original, Serrano, Mild, Hot, Fire-Roasted, No-Salt, Mexican Style or Chipotle. Whichever suits your taste will work.
