Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 8 oz cubed Velveeta cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream. Stir continuously until cheese is fully melted and mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes, 2 tbsp diced jalapeño peppers, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp onion powder. Stir for 2-3 minutes until jalapeños are softened but still flavorful.
  3. Step 3: If dip is too thick, stir in 1/4 cup milk until it reaches a creamy dip-able consistency. Remove from heat and serve warm.
