Original Ro-Tel Famous Queso Dip and Variations

Classic and always a winner, I don't think a party would be complete without a chafing dish full of cheesy Velveeta and Rotel queso dip.

Recipe: Original Ro-Tel Famous Queso Dip

©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 5 min |Cook time: 5 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 2 cans Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (2 pound) block Velveeta cheese product, cut into cubes
Instructions

Combine undrained tomatoes and cheese in a 2 quart microwave safe bowl and microwave on medium high setting about 5 minutes or until melted and well blended, stopping several times to stir.

Transfer to a small crockpot, chafing or warming dish to keep warm and smooth. Serve with corn chips, store bought or homemade tortilla chips or crackers.

Variations:

Beefy Cheeseburger Rotel Dip: Add 1 pound of browned ground beef to the classic recipe. Microwave and keep warm as directed.

Spicy Sausage Rotel Dip:  Saute 1/2 cup of chopped onion with 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, cleaned, seeded, ribs removed and chopped in some butter. Add 1 pound of mild or hot Jimmy Dean sausage and brown. Transfer all to 2 pound block of cubed Velveeta and 2 cans of Rotel. Add in additional green chilies if desired. Walmart sells their Great Value brand in a large can - 7 ounces. It's perfect to increase the heat! Microwave and keep warm as directed.

Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Rotel Dip - To 1-pound of the cubed Velveeta, add 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained, 1/2 of an 8 ounce package of cream cheese, cut into chunks, the Ro-Tel, undrained and 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled. Microwave and keep warm as directed.

Chili Cheese Rotel Dip Variation:  To the classic recipe, add in two cans of Wolf or Hormel, no bean chili. Microwave and keep warm as directed.

  1. I always put the ground beef in my Ro-Tel Queso Dip but I make taco meat. I put in the packet of taco seasoning. You can get regular or spicy.
