Cooktop Cove: Put Velveeta in a slow cooker for a Mexican meal that'll rock your tastebuds

By Johnny Ornelas

Menudo is a Mexican classic that's perfect for a home-cooked feeling on quiet days. If you're looking for a way to shake up this classic meal, check out our special version that uses Velveeta cheese to transform normal Menudo into a creamy, cheesy soup.

The type of meat you use is up to you..we recommend beef, but shredded chicken or tripe work well too. Use what you prefer!
