For the Velveeta Queso use this instead
16 ounces natural American cheese
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cumin powder
10-ounce can diced tomatoes & green chilies, drained
Instructions
Microwave directions:
Place all the ingredients inside a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir every 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but it should thicken after all the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips.
Slow cooker directions:
Place all the ingredients in a small slow cooker (that will fit at least 4 cups of liquid). Turn it on high for 2 1/2 hours.
Mix the ingredients every hour to prevent the cheese from sticking to the walls and possibly burning. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and serve.
