  • 5 oz evaporated milk
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes seasoned or regular

Instructions

Make Microwave Queso Dip: A Simple Method

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cubed Velveeta cheese, evaporated milk, and diced tomatoes. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
  • After the initial heating, remove the bowl from the microwave (be careful, it will be hot!) and stir the mixture well. If the cheese hasn’t fully melted, return it to the microwave for another 30-second interval, stirring after each time.
  • Once the dip is smooth and creamy, it’s ready to serve! Pair it with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or whatever your heart desires.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon or Spatula
  • Microwave
  • Measuring cup

Notes

  • Stir the dip well between heating intervals to ensure even melting and prevent overheating.
  • Adjust evaporated milk quantity to achieve desired dip consistency if it seems too thick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave with a splash of evaporated milk.
