The HH and I were in the grocery store a few weeks ago and on a whim, bought a bar of Mexican Velveeta cheese.
It had been probably at least 10 years since we bought Velveeta, but as soon as I spotted the recipe for Velveeta zesty chili dip on the inside of the package, I knew we had made the right decision.
As much as I love my big salads and eating healthy, it’s also fun to indulge in something every once in a while that I can only categorize as boy food. 😉
This Velveeta zesty chili dip is creamy, velvety smooth and made with shelf stable products. You can whip it out in a jiffy and have it on the table in less than seven minutes.
According to my husband, this recipe is the PERFECT appetizer to add to your game day line up. The creamy artichoke spinach dip I made last month comes in a close second.
But c’mon man, chili and cheese, it’s always a winning combination, right!? Yes, yes it is!
Make this, you’ll be so glad you did!

P.S. I highly recommend covering the dish with a paper towel before cooking it in the microwave. 😉

Does the Mexican Velveta have a hot taste? I’ve seen it but have been afraid to try it.
Mavis Butterfield says
No, we didn’t think it was spicy at all.

My BIL used to make this every time we went down to visit him! My kids LOVED it! I’ll have to make it for them soon!
