I was first introduced to this in college by my then boyfriend (now dh of 15 yrs); it has become a staple in our house ever since...over chips, in burritos and tacos, even over baked potatoes. Somehow it never gets old, and yet it is easy enough that my 8 yr old can make it for Daddy by herself. :o) We usually do 1 lb of Velveeta to 1 can of RoTel, though; guess we like it spicier...also a breeze to make in the microwave, just nuke for a minute, then stir, and repeat until it's ready.

I grew up on Velveeta with salsa, but this is SOOOOO much better!! I found a new addiction!

I've done this for a long time. I agree with another review, it is 1 can rotel w/ 1lb velveta. I'm glad to see that someone put this here. It's amazing how many people haven't heard of it. A couple hints from experience. 1. The lower the melting temperature, the thinner the cheese dip (if too hot, it will get too thick). I suggest a double boiler. 2. I also add a couple tbls or pace picante sace at the beginning (if later it doesn't work right) to make it spicer. 3. reheating it you may want to add a little milk to keep it from being too thick. If you haven't tried this, you're missing out.

This stuff is. Soooo. GOOD. It's always a hit, either as-written or with some browned ground beef added to bulk it up. I usually zap it all together in the microwave!

For being such a simple recipe, this really is great. I used two pounds of velveeta and two cups of salsa and just melted it in the microwave. Big hit, thanks!

This was very good but I needed to stir it a few times because a film would develop and when it started the water from the tomatoes rose to the top.. It was a hit though.

kids just loved this!! Made this for my daughter Kits birthday party with her swim team and all the kids loved it. I used the blender to liquify chunky tomatoes (for those picky eaters) and the kids were none the wiser. I usually add some water to make this dip easier to ladle over nachos, and needs stirring to keep from "film" over the surface.

This is another family favorite. We eat it not only as a dip but as cheese sauce for our burritos too.
