Quick and Easy Queso Dip

4 ingredients Cuisine: American Page updated October 2026

This queso dip comes together with a small pan and a microwave, and needs only four ingredients. Velveeta supplies the smooth, stable base that never turns grainy, while grated monterey jack adds a milder, more natural cheese flavor. Cooking the canned tomatoes with green chiles until their juice is gone keeps the dip thick enough to scoop. It suits game days and casual get-togethers.

Instructions

Pour the tomatoes with their juice into a small pan and add the chopped onion. Cook until the liquid has cooked away and the mixture is thick.

While the tomatoes cook, put the cubed Velveeta in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave until smooth.

Add the grated monterey jack to the melted Velveeta and melt it in at 50% power, so the cheese softens gently, until the mixture is smooth.

Stir the cooked tomato and onion mixture into the melted cheese until evenly combined. The dip can also be made in a crock pot.
