Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

16 ounces natural American cheese
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cumin powder
16 ounces natural American cheese
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cumin powder
10-ounce can diced tomatoes & green chilies, drained

Steps:

Place all the ingredients inside a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir every 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but it should thicken after all the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips.
Place all the ingredients in a small slow cooker (that will fit at least 4 cups of liquid). Turn it on high for 2 1/2 hours.
Mix the ingredients every hour to prevent the cheese from sticking to the walls and possibly burning. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and serve.

VELVEETA CHEESE SAUCE IN THE MICROWAVE

Velveeta Cheese Sauce in the Microwave image

I just love this simple velvety smooth cheese sauce--it's so easy, cheesy and good! Yummy drizzled over cooked broccoli or cauliflower, or just about anything. Enjoy! Note: Measurements are approximate, use more or less to taste. As the cheese sauce cools, it will thicken; gently reheat to serve (you can whisk in a small amount of milk or water, if needed).

3-INGREDIENT CHEESE SAUCE

3-Ingredient Cheese Sauce image

This velvety-smooth sauce uses real cheddar (not the processed stuff) and comes together in less than 10 minutes. Serve as is with chips, fries, or chili dogs, or transform it into the best queso you've ever had (see below for more on that). Pro tip: Skip the aged cheddar from the fancy cheese counter-the sauce will be even creamier with a block of no-frills cheddar from the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

For cheese sauce:
8 ounces grated yellow sharp cheddar (about 2 packed cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup evaporated milk
For queso variation:
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained, squeezed dry
Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Steps:

Make cheese sauce:
Toss cheese and cornstarch in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour evaporated milk over and cook in microwave on high 1 minute. Whisk and continue to cook in 30-second increments, whisking in between, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).
Make queso variation:
Once cheese has melted, stir in Rotel and hot sauce, if using, and microwave an additional 30 seconds. Stir to combine.

Tips:

For a smoother sauce, use a food processor or blender to blend the cheeses and milk until smooth.
If you don't have a microwave, you can make this sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
To make a larger batch of sauce, simply double or triple the recipe.
This sauce can be used as a dip for vegetables, chips, or crackers. It can also be used as a topping for nachos, tacos, or burritos.
To make a more flavorful sauce, add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.

Conclusion:

Velveeta cheese sauce is a quick and easy way to add a cheesy flavor to your favorite dishes. It can be used as a dip, a topping, or a sauce. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a delicious and versatile cheese sauce that the whole family will love.
