Preparation

Step 1

Combine butter, Velveeta cheese chunks, sour cream, tomatoes and green chiles, garlic powder, and Kosher salt in a crock pot or non-stick 2-quart saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring often, until the cheese is melted and smooth. Dip will thicken when cooled.

Serve the dip with your favorite chips, cracker or dipping veggies.
This recipe makes about 3 ½ cups of dip.

NOTES:
If you prefer a hotter, spicier dip, use hot tomatoes and green chilies or add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce.

Make sure you warm over low heat or it will burn.
