Queso Dip Recipe
A smooth, creamy Mexican white cheese dip just like your favorite restaurant queso blanco. Perfect for chips, parties, tacos, or game-day snacking.
Ingredients
- ½ lb white American cheese sliced or cubed for easier melting
- ¼ cup milk add more if you want it thinner
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 oz canned green chiles
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper a pinch
Instructions
- Slice or cube your white American cheese so it melts faster. Open your can of green chiles and measure out your spices.
- In a medium saucepan or skillet, combine the cheese, milk, and butter. Set the heat to low. Stir often with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Once the cheese has mostly melted, stir in the green chiles, cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Continue stirring until fully combined.
- If the dip is too thick, add a splash more milk. If too thin, heat a little longer on low to thicken.
- Serve hot with chips, tortillas, or veggie sticks. For parties, keep warm in a slow cooker on the lowest setting.
Notes
- Use a double boiler if you’re nervous about burning the cheese.
- Stir often and keep the heat low to prevent graininess.
- Customize spice levels at the end with more cayenne or jalapeños to taste.
