1. Cut Velveeta into cubes (it melts easier). 2. Melt Velveeta in saucepan, add Half & Half as Velveeta melts. Keep adding half & half until cheese mixture is desired consistency. Since the sauce will thicken as it cools, I keep the sauce a little on the thin side. 3. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. 4. Transfer to 2 quart slow cooker to keep cheese dip hot while serving.
