This Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce (quest) is an excellent to dip with raw veggies or baked crisp low carb tortillas or crackers.

This sauce has changed my life! It is a rich, satisfying, real cheese sauce with a flavor that is comparable to the traditional sauce!  

Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce 

It’s easy to melt and process a blend of cheeses into cheese sauce form if you have the right equipment, but to make it taste like the beloved Velveeta standby of almost every American get together?  Now that’s a different matter.  

I’ve been serving this Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce to friends and family for a while now and a few people have even said they like it better… and these weren’t dedicated “dieters” either, so I’m just throwing that out there and you can be the judge.

No xanthan gum or glucomannan was necessary for this broth-based sauce.  The base of this recipe is my country gravy.  The use of the gravy base adds; volume and extra flavor from the broth.  A little thickener from the on plan flour brings the textures and the flavors of the natural cheeses together.

This Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce can be made with or without Rotel tomatoes or just add canned chile peppers for more of a classic queso sauce with mild cheddar cheese.

** If you’re still used to eating a lot of processed foods and wish this one tasted more processed consider sprinkling in a tiny bit of salt and sweetener.  That is usually what sets that sort of food apart is a lot of salty/sweetness.

Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce

Low Carb Velveeta Cheese Sauce

Rich, creamy, cheese sauce that tastes too good to be low carb, but it is!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth *see note
  • 2 tablespoons THM baking blend or oat FLOUR
  • 8 oz grated mild cheddar cheese (very soft and see note)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes (optional for "rotel" dipping sauce)
  • Optional* 1/2 pound bulk sausage -browned in a skillet and added (optional to add if you want to make a sausage/rotel dip which I highly recommend that you do 🙂 )

Instructions

  1. Heat the broth in a medium saucepan till it is almost boiling and remove from heat then whisk in the baking blend.
  2. While still hot add the cheeses and mix well.
  3. Blend well with an immersion blender, a mini processor, or put it into a regular blender.
  4. Serve as is over veggies for a side dish or add chopped green chilies for a queso dip, or make a party dip by adding a can of Rotel tomatoes or Rotel and sausage.

Notes

*You will need an immersion blender or mini processor or, if you don't have these, even a little blender of some kind to make this perfectly smooth.

** I use Tillamook cheese or another high quality cheese and that will probably be important because if your cheese is flavor-less this dish will be too. I don't use pre-grated cheese, but I would especially not recommend it for this recipe.

    Going to try this! I have been missing dip. And in Angola, we do not have Velveeta, so this is actually perfect since I have been craving queso. (I brought over cases of Rotel and Owens hot sausage, so I have that) and there are no tortilla chips here so I’ll dip veges in it. Win, win. (Sometimes a tortilla chip makes it here, but it will be very stale and chewy. So we have just started making green and red bell pepper chips.

  5. […] Low Carb Cheese Sauce with Rotel added becomes Low Carb Velveeta Sauce and can be used as a dip or as an addition to veggies.  This cheese sauce is unique as far as I can tell from searching, because the broth base adds a kick of flavor and volume without adding a lot of unnecessary fat to burn in our 3 hour window.  The THM Baking Blend is the main ingredient that makes this sauce create such “normal” sauces and gravies without necessarily changing the fuel.
