Description

This Restaurant Style Queso is a creamy, silky smooth Tex-Mex dip that’s perfect for any occasion. Made with white American cheese, pepper-jack cheese, and whole milk, this slow-cooked queso is rich, indulgent, and easy to make. Whether for game day, parties, or cozy nights, this dip will quickly become a crowd favorite!


Ingredients

1 lb. sliced white American cheese (from the deli section, not Kraft Singles)

1 lb. pepper-jack cheese slices (two 8 oz. packages from the cheese section)

3½ cups whole milk

Tortilla chips, for serving


Instructions

  • Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the white American and pepper-jack cheese slices in the slow cooker. Pour the milk over the cheese.

  • Cook: Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The queso is done when it is silky smooth and free of cheese stretches.

  • Serve: Once the queso is smooth and hot, serve immediately with tortilla chips and enjoy!


Notes

Spicy Queso: Add diced jalapeños for extra spice.

Meat Lover’s Queso: Stir in browned ground beef for a heartier dip.

Veggie Queso: Add chopped tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers for a veggie-filled version.

Consistency Adjustments: If the queso is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
