I purchased one of your knives as a Christmas gift for my son, who does a lot of cooking. I will let you know what he thinks.

[@lisabady8209]

😮

[@Swit70]

Thx Matt, I wanted to thin the Velveeta but I thought the heavy cream would thicken the cheese. Also, how would beef chorizo pair with this combo?

[@leyley1970]

YUMMMM!!! I found just the can of Chipotle sauce.. I always keep it on hand and I buy the Tabasco chipotle too..

[@matabrandy1]

Try using Mexican Chorizo in the dip it is awesome

[@rollotomassi4768]

Is there Canadian Chorizo?

[@Elistice1]

He's in the Va. I don't think he has access to Chorizo

[@VickySwindoll]

Yes it is great!

[@jailelitaker9921]

Chorizo sounds amazing!!! And if he can get Sazon at his local grocer, surely he can get chorizo! It may not be the best quality, but it would still be good. I also think that andouille sausage would be amazing

[@SundayCookingRemix]

I always seem to only find the greasy gross chorizo 😢 and I was in San diego 😂

[@addisonmom3917]

I'm from Louisiana. We LOVE everything with a kick to it. I must say your voice, attitude, and last but in no way the least your cooking skills are so relatable. You're a genuine southern country boy at Heart. OOH WEE, you most definitely Make It Happen!

[@fulcrumsee5968]

EVERYBODY IS SO CREATIVE!!!! Rotel dip is delicious because it is simple.

[@Dime0flame.]

It hits different when you prepare and cook everything yourself

[@katavelino]

To level it up I use chorizo…… I use cilantro, diced Roma tomatoes ,onion ,some diced jalapeño or Serrano and chili powder and cumin 😋 so good

[@bigwizzle45]

You and AB have leveled up my cooking repertoire substantially!

[@mrsritell]

That crunch on the tortilla chip was on point!!💯

[@MrMakeItHappen]

so good! thank you!

[@Greg-trumpet]

A little too thick for me. Chevy’s has the thinnest, best chips (and salsa).

[@MrsKrysLynn]

I saw this right before I went grocery shopping and got everything I need to make this this weekend, including the tortillas 👏🏽😋 thank you for sharing!

[@1988remixx]

I’ve seen & read that if you’ve ever noticed your “homemade” tortilla chips only staying crispy for a short amount of time & then getting rubbery that means there’s too much moisture in the tortilla’s prior to frying. You may need to first dry them out a bit in the oven @ 200 degree’s for a few minutes, then do the deep fry. Supposedly this keeps the chips freshly crunchy for much longer.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

i will try that

[@rhondamrandall5293]

I put mine in a closed container they stay fresh almost 3 days

[@JessJoanne]

I do bake mine first. Makes a big difference. Storing them properly helps too.

[@atlaustell]

I season the meat with taco seasoning, use Doritos instead of regular tortilla chips, use Mexican velveeta and hot rotel tomatoes and add a can of diced green chilis

[@glamelame7315]

You aren't from Texas are you?

[@RicheyJohnsonJr]

This recipe was a game changer. I make Rotel dip every Sunday as a reward for myself. I’ve being doing it wrong for so long. The Velveeta, avocado oil, Goya juice, and sausage was an insane flavor that I needed in my life.

[@RandemNJ]

I may have to make this dip for this weekend's playoff games.

[@jao62223]

Make sure you brown the sausage that really makes the difference

[@jao62223]

😂 Yes, those gloves would have to come off to remove that skin from the onion for sure

[@bernardferrell9750]

The only thing I would do different would be to add the Goya ingredients into a blender and add 1 Tbs of Olive Oil and 1/4 cup of beef stock and blend until smooth. I would then add that to the dip mixture.

[@zipporahlewis4908]

I hate when people say you've been doing something the wrong way, if you're doing it the way you like it and prefer it then it's not the wrong way imo

Thank you for teaching me how to finely chop an onion the easy way.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

that's what I'm here for

[@cyndi1379]

I know, right?!?

[@lesliekunkel8663]

Actually, the right way is not to make cut straight down make your cuts like numbers on a clock and then that way you won’t have to do the horizontal cut, which is dangerous for some people. So everybody’s making queso wrong he’s cutting onions wrong.

[@EXISTMUSIC]

I was not planning on cooking anything tonight instead opting for take out....think this video just changed my mind this looks AMAZING.

[@Msladyinc]

I been making it with this sausage for many years. My cousin in Mississippi taught me this way over 10 years ago. It’s good!

[@vernitascott-flanton4526]

I like that cold skillet technique for the sausage!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you

[@michaelsmall6818]

Yeah after watching this, I'm definitely gonna have to try it, mine is just usually basic but people liked it.. maybe this time they'll love it... thanks for sharing 👍

[@poppyent]

Thank you so much for this recipe! That Goya Chipotle Pepper Juice definitely brought the flavor to another level 🫡💯

[@reneebutler832]

Love this recipe and can't wait to try it! Here's a tip - The Chipotle peppers that are not used can be blended down - You have to really blend the peppers and/or strain them to keep the skins out. (Unless you're making a big batch, you won't need the whole can of peppers - they can get very spicy) add olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, oregano, red wine vinegar and a splash of lime - you've got one great salad dressing!! Kinda a Chipotle salad dressing copy cat.

[@Lisa-xs5dz]

I just made this with what I had on hand and it is amazing! Give this guy some respect! I am liking, following and sharing. You rock. Thanks for kicking off my day for my family.

[@tammywelsh1532]

I make mine almost the same way except I use Kroger brand jalapeño cheese it’s like Valletta but better. I use hot sausage also but add a can diced chilies and can of jalapeños. I put everything in my crockpot and WOW IS IT GOOD!!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Sounds great

[@alfryonmcclay6062]

Imma gonna have to try this Kroger brand out

[@highyella1426]

I lime the Kroger brand better than velveta

[@jerodjones6846]

Hey Matt, I've made this almost every bday party, NFL game, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, you name it and every time it's a fing hit! I used to use your older queso dip recipe which is bomb but this one is even better!

I always add a can of chili beans to my queso. I make it just like you did except for adding the can of chili beans. I usually use a can of hot chili beans for added heat.

[@jester92345]

I love to make homemade corn chips. I squeeze a little lime juice on the chips the second they come outta the oil. Then sea salt... so amazing!!!

[@olripper2700]

Instead of "wet" lime juice, try some Tajin dry seasoning... it is like "dry" lime sprinkles. Awesome flavor.

[@jester92345]

@@olripper2700 I am familiar with Tajin. Still prefer straight lime juice. When the chips are still very hot it sizzles and doesn't "wet" the tortillas. Also a little goes a long way. I lightly sprinkle not soak.

Thanks for sharing . Your spin on cheese dip. I love home made chips with crunch . Have a great evening .

[@tinag8725]

I love you I do you're my go-to for the BEST recipes but NOOOO on the Velveeta but I did like how you cooked that sausage!! I like them crispy edges❤

What would you use instead of velveeta?

[@tinag8725]

@@MrGrandure smoked Gouda, Havarti Sharpe or extra Sharpe Cheddar Perhaps American cheese from the Harris Teeter deli department and they have a great Gourmet cheese selection.. I just don't like Velveeta

[@rhettamcguire2068]

I’ve been making it similar to this for years lol. I use small Mexican velveta and large original 1 cream cheese and heavy cream along with same seasoning and spicy jimmy dean sausage and rotel 2 cans 1 drained all in a lined crockpot. If in a real pinch can use jimmy dean precooked crumbles

[@halfinchholes88]

Have you tried adding sodium citrate to tie-up the casein in the cheese? I use it when I expect leftovers. Makes reheating as smooth as the original. Even recipes with just parmesan, cheddar, etc. spill out smooth, and re-heat smooth. No curdling.

[@tabbathacook1781]

That looks amazing. I’ve used canned chili or hot dog sauce but I’m definitely trying this way. The flavors you have going in there made my mouth water. Thank you so much.

[@browncoaster]

On the list for when your book is back in stock. I think you are right that those stories may well change or at least alter my life.

I make a very similar dip to this but with bacon instead of sausage, also adding a couple of diced jalapeños. Great stuff!

Mine is rather plain comparatively but I use 1 lb of hot sausage and only one Velveeta. No other cheese. But I then use two cans of rotel. Sometimes three. I love the thinner dip and the extra tomatoes.

[@scuzpwns3934]

Mom has always used chicken stock to thin hers out. Really makes it pop.

[@beautifulsurprise9424]

The seasoning blend he used is the exact same as what is in taco seasoning. He basically blended his own homemade taco seasoning. Paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin are standard in every pre-packaged taco seasonings on the market. If I made this myself I’d probably go that route as well because it’s faster and easier than pulling down each seasoning bottle.

Can't wait to try this! The typed recipe says 16 oz Velveeta which is the really small one but it def looked like you used the 32 oz packages in the video. Did you only use half? I had a coworker who used to make her Rotel dip with sliced smoked sausage (she fried them up ahead of time to get those crispy edges) and then she threw in a can of kidney beans. Sounds weird but don't knock it till you try it! I don't work there anymore and that's the one thing I miss from that job!
