Velveeta Queso Dip

Posted by koolaidmoms on

This is a recipe that has been around for a long time. This is the recipe my mother-in-law used in the 60s-70s. She had been to visit her cousin in Texas and had “Tex-Mex” for the first time. She brought this recipe back to New York with her and it was a hit. We had it for special occasions and then we started making it.

Verdict:

This is a favorite dip that is making a comeback to our parties. It has been years since we made this but we had a craving the other night for comfort food and out it came. This dip is great for parties and football games (keep it warm over a sterno flame or in a slow cooker). Stir it occasionally to keep the film from forming over the top.

Serve with tortilla chips or firm crudites such as celery or carrots.

    We put this out at every sports gathering and the bowl is always empty at half time. Never disappoints.
