Recipe Highlights

Ingredient tips

• Velveeta: This is the base cheese and flavor in the recipe. Any off brand cheese that’s similar will work just as well in the recipe.
• Chili: Choose a chili that you like or one that’s homemade to add into the cheese sauce. Turkey chili will work as well. This will be your baseline flavor of the spices in the recipe. For ease, any canned chili from the store is perfectly fine.
• Green chilies: This brings in a little spice as well and texture to pair with the ground beef. These can be omitted or swapped for tomatoes or a can of Rotel chilies.
• Milk: The secret ingredient to keep the Velveeta chili cheese dip creamy and smooth at cooler temperatures. Velveeta by itself hardens very quickly and this prevents that from happening so you can continue serving.
