Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Base
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
Chili and Seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) mild red chili with beans
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Cube the Velveeta cheese into small, even pieces to ensure quick and smooth melting. Combine the cubed cheese with the milk in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat.
- Melt the Cheese: Stir frequently to gently melt the Velveeta and milk together without burning, creating a creamy cheese base for the dip.
- Add the Chili and Seasoning: Once the cheese is fully melted and smooth, stir in the canned mild red chili with beans. Add ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to taste, mixing well to incorporate all flavors evenly.
- Heat Through and Serve: Continue to cook on low heat until the dip is heated through and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips or vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Use mild or spicy chili based on your preference for heat.
- If the dip is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
- For a smoother dip, mix seasoning thoroughly and avoid overheating to prevent cheese separation.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low setting for parties.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop.
