Deliciously Creamy Velveeta Cheese Dip
CONFESSION TIME: I have a secret love affair with chips and queso. I’d have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. My Velveeta queso recipe is creamy, dreamy, and studded with chopped green chiles. This dip has just the right amount of heat from the peppers and chiles. It’s super creamy, cheesy, and smooth due to the Velveeta cheese. It is delicious served as an appetizer. But it is so good I love to use it in other ways too.
You can drizzle it over these Chicken Fajitas, top off some Mexican Rice with it, smother your favorite burrito with the sauce, or even spread it onto your hamburger. This is one recipe you can repeatedly make without getting tired of it! I also like serving my Refried Beans in the crockpot next to this chips and queso dip for parties. The refried beans help cut through the richness of the queso.
What is Velveeta?
Velveeta is a cheese product made with a blend of cheeses, whey, and milk protein concentrate. It is smooth, creamy, and melts easily. It is often used in dips, mac and cheese, and other dishes that require an easily melted cheese. However, the FDA does not consider Velveeta real cheese because it contains stabilizers and preservatives.
Is Velveeta queso blanco spicy?
You can make this dip as spicy or as mild as you’d like. Just purchase mild, medium, or hot green chiles.

Can this recipe be made ahead of time and reheated?
You can absolutely make this dip ahead of time. Follow the instructions to make it and then store it in the fridge. Just before you are ready to serve it, reheat it in the microwave. As you mix the dip, you may need to add more milk to help the dip get to the consistency it should be at.
Velveeta Queso Blanco Recipe Tips
- If you are serving this dip shortly after making it, then allow it to sit for 1 minute before serving. This will allow the mixture to thicken to the perfect queso blanco consistency!
- You can make this dip as spicy or as mild as you’d like. Just purchase mild, medium, or hot green chiles.

FREEZE: This dip does not freeze and defrost well. Therefore, I do not recommend freezing it.
