For a Double Batch: If you’re feeding a crowd or simply can’t get enough of this goodness, follow these steps.
- MICROWAVE: Heat on HIGH for 8 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes, until the VELVEETA fully melts.
Note: If you prefer a thicker consistency, drain one can of tomatoes before adding them to the mixture.

- Veggie Delight: Incorporate sautéed bell peppers, onions, and corn for a colorful and crunchy dimension.
Expert Tips: Mastering Queso Perfection
