What goes with Cheesy Queso Dip?
This 2 Ingredient Cheesy Queso Dip is the perfect side dish, appetizer, or snack and it complements so many things. You could easily put this cheese on a number of recipes.

- Burritos. As with tacos, burritos need a sauce factor. What better way to soften up your meal with a little Cheesy Queso Dip? You could put this cheese inside or on top of your burrito. Either way is a win win. We love dipping our 7 Layer Dip Burritos into this 2 Ingredient Cheesy Queso Dip.

Our favorite grilled cheese sandwich to put this Cheesy Queso Dip on, is our BLT Grilled Cheese. spread a little bit of this goodness on it and life just seems to fall into place after you take a bite.
How to add extra flavor to Queso Dip:
There are a few things you can add to liven up the 2 Ingredient Cheesy Queso Dip. They are simple ingredients that will add a whole new element to your dip.
- Add sausage or ground beef. Make the dip hearty by adding a little meat. We recommend adding sausage or ground beef to this one. They break up into little pieces which is much easier to dip with. A thin tortilla chip can only handle so much meat.
- Add taco seasoning. Don’t go overboard with the taco seasoning, but a teaspoon would add a little kick and some flavor to the dip.
- Add a few Jalapenos. If you are a spice fan, I definitely recommend adding some fresh jalapenos. You could even garnish the dip by placing a few extra jalapenos on top.

I always add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the batch…it keeps the velveeta from lumping up and doesn’t affect the flavor. It also makes it go a little farther. of course you can add beef, bacon, or spinach too 🙂
