Ingredients
  

16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed

1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

1 cup heavy cream

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tortilla chips (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Cheese: Start by placing the cubed Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly.

    Add Rotel and Cream: Once the cheese has begun to melt, add the undrained Rotel tomatoes and heavy cream. Mix well until combined and smooth.

      Incorporate the Ranch Flavor: Sprinkle in the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is completely melted.

        Thicken it Up: Continue to cook on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 5-7 minutes until the queso has thickened to your liking.

          Stir in Cheddar: Add the shredded cheddar cheese and olive oil. Keep stirring until the cheddar is melted and the queso is creamy and cheesy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve Warm: Remove from heat and transfer the queso to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for an added touch.

              Enjoy: Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping!
