Notes
💡 Notes:
- Substitute Rotel with your favorite salsa if preferred.
- Replace Velveeta with 8 oz cream cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar for a different flavor.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the processed cheese to 8 oz.
- Optional add-ins: diced jalapeños, taco seasoning, or extra cheddar.
- Keep warm in a mini slow cooker. Add up to 1/3 cup of milk to loosen the dip as it thickens.
