A yummy and popular restaurant style cheese dip, try making this easy White Queso Dip at home! Adapted from AllRecipes.online.
Ingredients
- 1 pound white American cheese, cubed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup half & half or milk
- 4 oz. can green chiles
- 1/2 cup canned jalapeños - diced (or less/more to taste)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- red pepper flakes, to taste
- tortilla chips for dipping
- garnish with jalapeños and cilantro, if desired
Directions
1
In a skillet or saucepan, place butter, cheese cubes, and milk on LOW heat and stir frequently until cheese melts.
2
Stir in green chiles, jalapeños, cumin, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
3
If the dip is too thick, add more milk or cream to thin. Garnish with jalapeños and cilantro.
4
Serve immediately with tortilla chips. The yield of this recipe fits perfectly in my Little Dipper sized Crockpot and my 8-inch Lodge cast iron skillet.
This recipe can easily be doubled for larger crowds. Serve in a slow cooker on warm if you’d like to keep the dip warm during a gathering or if you’d like to make ahead.
Hip Tip: I went to my grocery store’s deli department and asked for a 1-pound chunk of White American Cheese which works really well because it melts easily. If you can’t snag a chunk, you can also use slices or even white Velveeta cheese.
