- Turn the stove on low. Add the Velveeta, pepper jack and cream cheese and let them melt. Stir often, and be careful not to let them scorch.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Heat Level. Be sure to keep the skillet on medium low to medium heat. Don't get in too big a hurry because you need the cheese to melt slowly and thoroughly.
- Keep stirring. Stir continuously to keep the cheese from burning on the bottom, and to ensure that all the ingredients combine completely and the cheese melts evenly.
- Do The Salsa. Add some additional pizzazz, flavor, and heat to your queso by adding your favorite salsa right in the queso. You can add as little as or much as you like, depending on how spicy you like your queso.
