Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the block of pasteurized processed cheese (such as Velveeta) into 1-inch cubes to ensure even melting.

  4. Set the saucepan over low heat and stir frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  5. Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. For microwave method: Place cheese cubes and Ro*Tel in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, then stir. Repeat in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  8. Transfer the hot dip to a serving bowl immediately.
