Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup milk (preferably Half & Half if you have it)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ounce can no-bean chili
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • juice of 1 lime juice (about 1 tablespoon)
  • tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut velveeta cheese into cubes. (optional. If you don't, it will just take a little longer to melt, no biggie) Add all ingredients (except for tortilla chips) to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour.
  2. Stir until everything comes together. Cook on low for 30 minutes - 1 hour (As much time as you have before serving)
  3. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Up-level your chips: Just bake your favorite tortilla chips in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and serve warm! 
  • Storing leftovers: Store leftovers in a glass container in the fridge until you're ready to eat the rest of it. I like to put it in glass because that way I can just pop it right into the microwave for easy reheating. 
  • Reheating: simply heat the cold queso in a glass dish in the microwave for 10-second increments, stirring in between each, until it comes to the desired temperature.
