Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a heavy bottomed large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, diced green chiles and diced roma tomatoes and season with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Saute until tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the Velveeta® original cheese, half-and-half, paprika, and cayenne, and whisk occasionally until the Velveeta® has melted and the queso is smooth, about 6-8 minutes. Keep warm and serve immediately.

    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, and warmed gently over medium-low heat, while whisking to become smooth again.
