It's famous for a reason. The quintessential game-day party dip is not only a creamy, delicious crowd-pleaser, but it may be one of the best reasons for football to exist.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

When eating appetizers at a social occasion, preview your choices and decide which you'd like to try instead of taking some of each.

Creative Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftover dip. Reheat and serve spooned over hot baked potatoes or cooked pasta.

Substitute

Prepare using Mild Mexican VELVEETA with Jalapeno Peppers.

Very tasty and super easy to make. Everyone loved it, it's best with tortilla chips.

This is a pretty bland version, it'll be too thick and not near enough flavor. Add a quarter to half cup of milk to thin it a bit and add some cooked crumbled sausage or chopped chicken, diced jalapenos, chopped cilantro or real salsa (not Rotel) if you want to amp up the flavor.

I don't need an excuse like a party or Super Bowl weekend to make this all for myself! I use the Hot Rotel, add a pound of browned ground beef, a whole brick of Philly, and a bunch of chopped jalapenos (with juice) until it's hot enough for me. I can practically feel my arteries hardening with each bite, but OMG still the best queso ever.

I have used this recipe for years. It is printed inside the lid of the cheese box. I very often add another can of Rotel, and a can of refried beans. YUM
