Method
 

  1. Place Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into saucepan over low heat while stirring until melted smoothly completely.
  2. Add Rotel tomatoes, black beans, and taco seasoning while mixing gently for balanced savory Southwestern flavor throughout.
  3. Pour milk gradually into mixture while stirring continuously to maintain creamy texture perfect for scooping chips easily.

Notes

Add extra milk for softer creamy texture or simmer longer for thicker hearty consistency. Freeze cooled leftovers in airtight containers for shorter storage periods. Customize flavor with jalapenos, ground beef, or pepper jack cheese. Stir gently during reheating to prevent separation. Refrigerate leftovers safely up to four days after preparation.
