Description
If you’re on the hunt for a bold, creamy, flavor-packed dip that’ll be the first to disappear at any party, look no further than Cheesy Rotel Ranch Queso.
Ingredients
-
Use low heat – Overheating cheese can cause it to separate and become grainy.
-
Stir frequently – This helps ensure a smooth consistency.
-
Add ranch gradually – Start with 1 tablespoon, then add more if desired.
-
Use full-fat milk – It helps create a richer, creamier queso.
Instructions
Step 1: Heat your pan
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the butter (if using). Let it melt and warm the pan.
Step 2: Add Velveeta and milk
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and pour in the milk. Stir frequently until the cheese begins to melt into a smooth base.
Step 3: Stir in Rotel and seasonings
Add the entire can of Rotel (with juices), ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir constantly until fully melted and well blended.
Step 4: Adjust texture
If the dip is too thick, add a splash more milk until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 5: Optional add-ins
Fold in cooked meat or additional shredded cheese if desired. Cook until heated through.
Step 6: Serve warm
Transfer to a bowl or slow cooker to keep warm while serving.
