Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese (low-carb version, original blocks or shreds)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Diced tomatoes with green chilies (low-carb, such as Rotel)
- 1 medium Jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the Velveeta cheese block into small cubes for easier melting.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and heavy cream over low heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat until the cheese is completely melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (drain excess liquid if needed) and stir until evenly combined.
If using, add the finely diced jalapeño for extra spice, stirring it into the mixture.
Season the dip with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot and well blended.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it at the perfect temperature for serving.
Serve immediately with low-carb veggies like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or low-carb chips.
