Velveeta Queso Recipe FAQs
The easiest way to melt Velveeta is to cut it into ½-inch cubes and then place the cubes into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the bowl on HIGH heat for two minutes. Remove it from the microwave and stir. Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook on HIGH again for one minute. Remove the bowl and stir it. Continue cooking for one-minute increments and stirring the mixture until it is completely melted.
We do not think you will need to thin out this dip. However, if, for whatever reason, you would like it a little thinner, you can thin out the dip a bit by adding more milk. We recommend adding a tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Due to the preservatives in Velveeta cheese, the dip will stay fresh stored in the refrigerator if covered tightly for up to five days.
How to make Velveeta Queso Blanco with your kids
Ages 2-3: Have your little one help add the ingredients to the bowl to put in the microwave. They will have fun watching as the mixture melts together each time you cook it in the microwave.
Ages 4-5: Ask your child to mix the ingredients each time you remove them from the microwave. Have them put a potholder on their hands because, depending on your bowl, it might be hot right out of the microwave.
Ages 6-8: Guide your child’s hands as you teach them to cut the Velveeta cheese into cubes.
Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe.
Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe unsupervised while you do the happy dance in the corner!
