What You’ll Need for the Greatest Queso That Ever Lived
Ingredients List:
- 1 block (32 Oz.) Velveeta Cheese – The cornerstone of this queso, Velveeta’s melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor make it the perfect base.
- 1 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese – For an extra creamy texture that balances the richness of the Velveeta.
- 1 can (10 Oz.) Rotel (original, mild, or hot – your choice) – Adds a fresh, tangy kick. You can choose the level of heat based on your preference!
- 1 can (10.75 Oz.) Cream of Mushroom Soup – This ingredient is the secret to making the queso even creamier while adding depth to the flavor.
- 1 pound Ground Beef or Sausage (or a combination of both) – Choose your favorite meat, but for extra flavor, I recommend using spicy sausage like Owens or Jimmy Dean’s Hot Sausage. It gives the dip a savory, hearty kick.
- Optional Garnishes: Chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, jalapeño slices, or diced tomatoes.
