My Healthy Queso Dip Recipe Without Velveeta Is Healthier

Can you find Velveeta? I have a funny, interesting story. My daughter, Haley, called me from San Francisco and said a friend of hers was looking for Velveeta all over in San Francisco and went to three different places and couldn’t find it. So, I happened to go to the grocery later that day and our grocery store stocked Velveeta cheese. I guess she was right thinking this was a “San Francisco thing.” So, let’s think about a healthy queso dip recipe.

Serve My Easy Queso Recipe In Fondue Pot! Fondue is Back!  
Cuisinart CFO-3SS Electric Fondue MakerCuisinart Electric Fondue MakerCuisinart CFO-3SS Electric Fondue Maker

I think an easy and fun way to serve the Chili Con Queso recipe is an a fondue pot.  The dip keeps hot and you can forget about it.  I really like this electric Cuisinart Fondue Maker because this fondue pot includes an adjustable heat.  Also, a fondue maker makes a nice serving piece and to keep my cheese queso dip warm.

A fondue pot is a great way to keep a dip warm and don’t forgot about using one! Some people use a crock pot, however, sometimes I find those so large for just a dip. I really like the way this fondue pot doubles for a serving piece too. think this is a great Fondue pot to serve dips because it’s the perfect size. And, I like the fact it is electric. Easy to use and affordable, you will be surprised how often you will pull this out as your new favorite serving place.

    You should be specific in your recipe that the beer should be gluten free beer.
