What could I use in place of Velveeta cheese?
This recipe calls for Velveeta Cheese. I am personally a big fan of it. I know it’s considered not a “real” cheese, but I do think it is delicious, especially in this dish.
If you are looking for a replacement, we have an easy switch.
Here is what we recommend:
- 3-4 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Bring the ingredients to a small boil over the stove top, at medium heat, stirring constantly.
Continue to make the recipe as directed, in the instructions. This will be a little thinner of a substance, so you may need to add more sharp cheddar cheese, depending on how thick you want the sauce.
We made it using 4 cups and it was thick, but still delicious. For the best results we recommend using Velveeta cheese.
What can I dip in this queso?
I am a huge queso lover. I can dip just about anything in it, and it tastes delicious.
If you are looking for more options to dip into this queso, here is what we recommend:
- Vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, celery, sweet peppers, olives, etc.).
- Spread it over burritos, enchiladas, nachos, quesadillas, etc.
- Bread sticks
- Pita Bread
- Doritos (one of the worlds best combinations).
