She just knows a good thing when she sees it.
If you know about this dip, you know that my mom didnt invent it.
She still shops like she has growing kids at home.

But that means an impromptu batch of this cheesy dip is always only moments away.
The best thing about this dip is how everyone scarfs it down every single time it appears.
When I was a teenager, my friends would often wind up at my house after school.

I was proud that we were the designated snack house.
They had simply converged at our house unannounced, out of habit.
A great dip can set that in motion.
Plus its best made in the microwave, right in the dish you serve it from.
Velveeta isnt one of my go-to foods, but its what makes this dip so good.
It doesnt clump or curdle the way, ahem, real cheese can when you use it in queso.
It melts smoothly and clings to tortilla chips with enough oomph that you get maximum queso per chip.
I will shamelessly take this dip over queso made with actual cheese every single time.
I swear itll vanish before halftime.
Cover, then microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Stir, then microwave another 2 minutes.
The exact timing will depend on your microwave.
Serve with tons of tortilla chips.
Serves about six hungry teenagers after school or 12 to 20 people grazing at a party.
