Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect 16 oz of Velveeta cheese, 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of milk. Don’t forget your favorite tortilla chips for dipping!
Step 2: Cube the Velveeta
  1. Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. This helps it melt evenly and quickly, making your queso smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cubed Velveeta, diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir gently to mix everything together.
Step 4: Heat It Up
  1. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even melting. Keep an eye on it; we want gooey, not burnt!
Step 5: Stir Until Smooth
  1. Continue stirring until all the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk!
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Once your queso is perfectly melted, remove it from the heat. Serve it warm with tortilla chips, veggies, or whatever dippers you love. Enjoy your cheesy creation!
