QUESO DIP WITH VELVEETA CHEESE

WHAT IS THE BEST CHEESE FOR QUESO DIP?
Velveeta of course! If you’d like, you can opt for another one of your favorite cheeses if you’re not a Velveeta fan. Make sure it’s a block cheese cubed up before cooking for the best result.
HOW DO YOU KEEP QUESO DIP WARM?
The best way to keep the queso dip warm at a party for a crowd is to set the slow cooker set to warm and keep it plugged in.
WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH QUESO DIP?
Tortilla chips of course! You can also serve with crackers, celery, pretzels, or toasted bread. This queso dip is good with so many food options!
HOW LONG IS THIS DIP GOOD FOR?
In terms of leaving out at a party, the general rule of thumb is about 2 hours unless you opt to keep it in the slow cooker plugged in. If you have leftovers, these can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
CAN I MAKE IT IN ADVANCE?
Yes! You can either store it in the fridge for a day or two until ready to eat or you can freeze it. If you opt to simply refrigerate, you’ll just need to pull it out and reheat before serving.
If you’d like to freeze it, you can do so for up to six months. Just be sure to thaw completely before reheating!
Keep in mind that the consistency may change so you may need to add a splash of milk when reheating the dip.
