White Queso Dip Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 ounces evaporated milk (1 can)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3/4 lb white American cheese buy it sliced at the deli counter at your grocery store. Then chop into small squares, finely chopped
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
• 2 tablespoons canned jalapenos chopped, or chopped green chilies
• 1 teaspoon chili powder you could also use cumin if you prefer that taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional. some readers haven't liked this spice although some did
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• chopped cilantro tomatoes, and jalapenos for garnish

Instructions

Heat evaporated milk over medium/high heat in a small saucepan. Stir in the cornstarch and whisk to combine. Once simmering (bring to JUST before boil…when it starts bubbling up the sides it's ready), reduce heat to low immediately.

Immediately stir in the cheese in batches, starting with the white american cheese. As you stir in the cheese, increase heat to medium/low and whisk CONSTANTLY while the cheese melts. Once each batch is melted/creamy, add more. Don't stop stirring, you have to whisk the entire time while adding cheese.

Once done with the white American, add in the shredded fontina or mozzarella. Again, whisk CONSTANTLY while the cheese melts, insuring you have a creamy blend. If you prefer the cheese a bit thicker, add a bit more of the mozzarella.

Once all the cheese is melted, stir in the jalapenos, chili powder, nutmeg, red pepper, and salt and pepper.

If you want the queso to be browned like in my pictures, pour the queso into a small nonstick skillet and place in the oven. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble and brown (optional)

Top with cilantro, tomatoes, and more jalapenos if desired.

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

This classic Tex-Mex dip comes from Lisa Fain (a.k.a. The Homesick Texan). With both serrano chiles and jalapeños, the dip has a bright spiciness that cuts through the richness of two cheeses. The tangy sour cream added at the end brings it over the top.

Description

This Homemade Nacho Queso Dip blows away any store-bought cheese dips. No processed anything here. Just real, natural ingredients that taste unbelievably delicious! A surprise ingredient keeps this dip smooth and velvety for days.

Ingredients

• 8 oz block good quality sharp cheddar cheese, shredded yourself
• 12 oz evaporated milk
• 1 TB cornstarch
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 – 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, depending on desired heat
• Optional: milk for thinning sauce as needed and toppings as desired

Instructions

Off heat, place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir to combine well. Be sure cornstarch is fully dissolved. Turn heat on medium and stir until mixture is completely melted and smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed. If needed, thin out sauce with a splash of milk and whisk to incorporate.

Keep sauce warm to serve (a small fondue pot or occasional microwaving/stirring will do the trick.) Sauce will thicken some as it cools but should remain soft.

Yield: 1 cup dip

Ingredients

• 8 oz Velveeta cheese
• 4 oz evaporated milk
• 2 oz canned green chiles
• 1 tablespoon minced white onion
• 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
• Hot sauce for drizzling
• Tortilla chips for dipping
• Guacamole (optional)

Instructions

Combine Velveeta, evaporated milk and green chiles in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on half power, one minute at a time, stirring after each minute, until completely melted and combined.

You can also make this on the stovetop, heating on medium heat and stirring until cheese is melted.

Transfer into a dipping bowl, and garnish with onion, cilantro, and hot sauce.

If you are adding the guacamole, you can either scoop it into a ball and put it in the bottom the dipping bowl and pour the queso dip on top. Or, you can drop it in from the top and then garnish afterward.

This recipe doubles, triples, quadruples… very nicely. Notes

You can also add salsa to this recipe- either from a can or homemade. I would add it when you add the green chilies.
