Ingredients
  

Cheese Dip Base
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes partially drained
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups spinach chopped and drained
  • 1 4 cup milk adjust consistency
  • 1 2 teaspoon onion powder optional seasoning
Serving Options
  • 1 bag tortilla chips serve crunchy
  • 1 loaf toasted bread cubed for dipping

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Serving Tray
  • Freezer
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Place Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into saucepan over low heat while stirring until smooth completely.
  2. Add Rotel tomatoes, chopped spinach, and onion powder while mixing gently for balanced savory flavor throughout.
  3. Pour milk gradually into mixture while stirring continuously to maintain creamy texture without becoming overly thick.
  4. Simmer dip gently until spinach softens slightly and cheese mixture becomes hot, smooth, and easily scoopable.
  5. Transfer warm dip carefully into serving bowl and serve immediately with crunchy chips or toasted bread cubes.

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, bacon, or pepper jack cheese. Stir gently during reheating to prevent separation. Refrigerate leftovers safely up to four days after preparation.
