Tips for the Best Velveeta Chili Dip
- Spray the baking dish. It keeps the hard, crusty bits from sticking. Trust me, it’s a good idea.
- Don’t overmix. When you fold in the cheese cubes, just get the liquid around the cheese.
- Stir halfway through. By the halfway point the Velveeta is usually melted. If it isn’t, it will be by the end.
- Watch the heat. Cheese that gets too hot can turn lumpy. Take it off the heat and stir.

How to Reheat Leftover Velveeta Dip
Stir the dip well, then microwave it in a glass or ceramic bowl in short bursts, stirring in between so it heats evenly. Don’t leave it in too long, or it dries out and can scorch in spots.
