White Queso Dip

You would think they used white cheddar, right? Nope! It just doesn’t melt right for a Queso dip and tends to be oily. So white American cheese to the rescue! There is no cream cheese, Velveeta, or evaporated milk in this recipe! In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat add the white American cheese, 1/2 cup of milk, butter, green chilies, pickled jalapenos, cumin, garlic, and cayenne. Warm gently until the cheese is melted and combined, stirring frequently. You made need to add another 1/4 cup of milk to achieve the desired consistency. ( we used a total of 3/4 cup) This process takes some time so just be patient and stir often. Check out our Street Tacos! Ooey, gooey, delicious restaurant-style queso dip at home. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy! Who doesn’t love cheese dip? It’s great for game day parties or Tex Mex night in. Skip the pre-made grocery store stuff and make your own!
