Three-Ingredient Velveeta Fiesta Dip

 Easy Three-Ingredient Velveeta Fiesta Dip

This creamy, cheesy, and bold flavored dip is perfect for a New Year’s Eve party or an easy game-day appetizer. You can tailor the spice level to your liking by using mild, original, or hot Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. For a delicious combination, pair this Three-Ingredient Velveeta Fiesta Dip with corn chips or pretzel bites.

You can put all three ingredients in a slow cooker on low early in the day, or make it at the last minute on the stovetop. Either of these methods are easier and faster than having to brown sausage like in this similar Spicy Sausage Queso Dip.

Not only is this dip one that everybody loves, but you’re going to love how simple and easy it is to make.

Frequently Asked Questions & Tips about How to Make Three-Ingredient Velveeta Fiesta Dip

Can I cut the recipe in half?

If you’re not feeding a crowd, this recipe can easily be cut in half.

I only have regular chili with beans. Will that work?

Yes. It’s just a more classic dip using no-bean chili. 

What else can I serve with it besides chips?

French fries, pretzel bites or crusty bread also pair well. Sometimes if we have leftover dip, we use it for building nachos, on baked potatoes, or in rice and bean burritos.  

Tips:
  • You can use a generic brand of Velveeta cheese.
  • If making it on the stovetop and not going to immediately serve it, transfer the dip to a slow cooker to stay warm and for easy dipping.
