This dip is slightly addicting, and oh so good.
The result is an over-the-top spicy and cheesy dip that my family went crazy for, and I think yours will, too. The best part about this Velveeta queso recipe is how easy it is to cater to taste. You can add in beans, bacon, other types of cheese, and really anything else that sounds yummy!
If you don’t want it to be spicy, it’s fine to omit jalapeños, and use ground beef with taco seasoning instead of spicy chorizo. Or leave that part out altogether for a meatless option, if desired.

Here are a few recipe tips when making grilled Velveeta queso dip:
-
- You can melt this on a grill or a smoker. I made this using our outdoor propane grill, and next time I’m going to try making this as smoked queso using our Traeger pellet grill! In fact, there could be a new Velveeta cheese shortage due to how many folks are making versions of this dip on the Traeger Facebook page! LOL 😉
-
- If you want to use your oven indoors, bake it at 300 degrees for about 30 – 35 minutes or so until melted. Stir well before serving.
-
- I am using a disposable 11×13 foil pan for easy clean-up, but you could also try this recipe out in a cast-iron dutch oven.
-
- This reheats well the next day using the microwave (in case there is leftover queso). If you store it in a covered container in the fridge, it should last a few days.
This Velveeta queso dip melts up so nicely!
I love that this one has tons of flavor, and easy to find ingredients. It’s simple enough for anyone to onlinepile, and it’s so darn yummy and kinda addicting – don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
Make sure to buy enough tortilla chips for dipping, as this dip will disappear fast!
My Hip sidekick Jenna gave this recipe a try and here’s what she thought:
“I LOVE everything about this dip! I think my favorite part has to be the addition of the fresh cilantro, it just gives it that little extra something special in addition to all of that melty and yummy cheese! I didn’t feel like firing up the grill so I made this in the oven and it turned out well. So many great flavors in one dip, it was a home run for my family!”
