Equipment

1 saucepan
1 microwaveable bowl if using the microwave instructions only

Ingredients

1 can Diced tomatoes and green chilies I use Rotel
1 450g package Velveeta
1 8 oz package cream cheese

Instructions

Dice velveeta and cream cheese into 1" cubes and place in saucepan
Pour undrained Rotel over cheeses and turn heat on to med-hi heat
Stir constantly until the cheeses melt completely and the sauce combines, about 5 minutes
Serve warm as a dip with tortilla chips

Variations

1. scramble fry and drain chorizo and then add it to the dip
2. Add diced jalapenos
3. Add additional spices such as red pepper flakes, hot sauce, cumin to your taste

Notes

To make in a microwave, combine all the ingredients in a microwave safe dish large enough for all of the ingredients. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or just until the cheeses melt stirring every 2 minutes until done. CAUTION dish will be hot, use oven mitts or hot pads. If you're making a double recipe, microwave for 8 minutes in 2 minute intervals until done.

Note* this can be made without cream cheese, but I prefer it with. If you don't have any, just omit and make it with Velveeta and Rotel.
