Ingredients
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese (low-carb version, original blocks or shreds)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Diced tomatoes with green chilies (low-carb, such as Rotel)
- 1 medium Jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the Velveeta cheese block into small cubes for easier melting.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and heavy cream over low heat.
Step 3
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat until the cheese is completely melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (drain excess liquid if needed) and stir until evenly combined.
Step 5
If using, add the finely diced jalapeño for extra spice, stirring it into the mixture.
Step 6
Season the dip with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot and well blended.
Step 8
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it at the perfect temperature for serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with low-carb veggies like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or low-carb chips.
