Whenever I go to parties or to other people's houses they always have velveeta and salsa for queso. I hate velveeta!!!
I made a dip this morning in the crock pot with Mexican cheese, taco meat (I made a lot the other night and froze the rest), cream cheese and salsa and it turned out SO good. I might add cut up chipotles but I haven't decided.
What do you put in your queso/chile con queso? I also want to try adding refried beans!

I like the velveeta/salsa kind, but I also like the homemade kind we make.
We make a base of a couple tablespoons butter with flour, then add in some garlic, then add half and half or cream, once that is warm we add a block of shredded pepperjack cheese. It makes a very gooey spicy cheese dip that is super tasty.

@HLK208: this recipe for refried beans is good! I usually add chopped onion to queso.http://www.kitchentreaty.com/easy-vegetarian-crock-pot-refried-beans-without-lard/

We have always made queso with Velveeta and Rotel tomatos, since before there were commercials advertising it. However, we actually have never called it queso, we always call it Ro-veeta.

Queso blanco, sometimes I'll add spicy sausage or taco meat. Green chiles...sometimes onion and peppers.

When I make it I do it like this:
Taco meat (only sometimes)
Salsa
Cream cheese
Sour cream
Refried beans
Little bit of enchilada sauce (1/2 can)
Canned green chilies
Olives
