A hot cheese dip is the quintessential party appetizer. Just about everyone likes dipping chips in glorious melty cheese, wouldn't you agree?.
When it comes to cheese dips, there are like a bajillion different options. Some use white cheese, some use orange cheese, some use mozzarella for extra cheese pull goodness. Some cheese dips have sausage, some have tomatoes, and some have green chilies. The options could go on forever!
This cheese dip uses the king of smooth meltiness...Velveeta.
Now, I know some people don't love Velveeta and would prefer a "real" cheese in their cheese dip. I get that.
However, there are some people out there (like me) who don't mind getting down with some processed cheese every now and then. This Velveeta dip is a crowd-pleaser for sure and I'm willing to bet you won't want to stop dipping!
