Instructions:
Step 1: Melt the Cheese
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
- Add the white American cheese and milk, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 2: Add the Flavors
- Once the cheese begins to melt, stir in the heavy cream, green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Continue stirring until the dip is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Adjust the Consistency
- If the dip is too thick, add more milk (a little at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Transfer the queso dip to a warm serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro or diced tomatoes if desired.
- Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips, nachos, or veggies!
Tips for the Best Queso Dip:
✔ Best Cheese to Use:
- White American cheese is the best choice because it melts smoothly without becoming grainy. You can find it at the deli counter of most grocery stores.
- If you can’t find white American cheese, use Monterey Jack cheese or white Velveeta for a similar creamy texture.
✔ How to Keep Queso Warm:
- If serving at a party, keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker on the lowest setting. Stir occasionally to prevent thickening.
✔ Make it Spicier:
- Add fresh diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce for extra heat!
✔ Can You Make It Ahead of Time?
- Yes! Store leftover queso in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat over low heat on the stove, adding a splash of milk to bring back the creamy texture.
