The Only Cheese Dip You Need to Make

The Perfect Cheese Dip For Every Occasion

Okay, maybe calling this the Perfect Cheese Dip for Every Occasion is a bold statement, but honestly, it’s true!

Start with this spicy cheesy dip for every party you host.

The Ultimate Comfort Food.

I was at an office party a few years ago. (Okay, maybe it was many years ago) and a co-worker brought a version of this dip, and when I made it for my family, it was a hit, and is now just referred to as “The Dip”.

Anyway, the point is I have been making this hot cheese dip for years, in fact, our family cannot even imagine having a holiday, football game, or appetizer party without scooping this dip onto chips.

At first glance, you are going to think, good grief, everyone has been making this recipe for years.

I will agree there are many variations and I have reviewed many of them and realized none of them compared to my recipe.

As I have said in other recipe posts, I do not like to go on and on with too many stories and details before sharing my recipes, so here you go. 

But, just in case you are a skimmer, I want to quickly point out why this party dip is special.

First, it is all about the cheese, this dip uses Deluxe American Cheese NOT Velveta. The result is a thicker, richer tasting cheese flavor.  

Second, it is the Rotel Tomatoes. The combination of diced tomatoes and green chilies is perfect.  Do not drain the tomatoes when you make the dip- the juice adds so much flavor.

Notes

• Ground sausage can replace ground beef, or use no meat at all
• If dip seems too thick, add a 3rd can of Rotel Tomatoes
• For less spice omit the diced green chilies
