Sprinkle in onion powder and garlic powder, stirring to combine.

Pour in the undrained Rotel tomatoes and milk. Add the Velveeta cubes. Stir well, then cover the skillet and let cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Combine with Pasta:
