Ingredients
Instructions

- Heat the mixture until warm.
- Pour into a chafing dish and serve with large corn chips.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the mixture when heating. If you can't find Underwood ham, any canned ham or even crumbled cooked bacon will work as a substitute. You could also use cream cheese instead of Velveeta for a tangy twist. For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip hot with large corn chips for the best experience. It pairs beautifully with Bonnie'S Cheese Ball for a fun appetizer spread. You can also serve it alongside fresh vegetable crudités or use it as a filling for baked potatoes. It's great for parties or game day gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm the dip in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
