Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2.5 cups / 225 g Cheddar cheese, freshly shredded ((Important - read Note 1))
1 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
1/2 tbsp / 8 g butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 small white onion, very finely chopped (1/4 cup)
375 g / 13 oz evaporated milk (1 can, not low fat)
1 small tomato, finely diced (3/4 cup) ((Note 2))
1/4 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, cumin
4 oz / 113g can chopped green chile, fire roasted ((Subs Note 3))
1/4 cup coriander / cilantro, finely chopped
2 - 3 tbsp milk, any
Salt

Steps:

Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

DON'S QUESO DIP

Don's Queso Dip image

My dad started this recipe in our family. I grew up making it with my dad and after his death I have continued to make it. I have tweaked it to suit my family. Great to make for the Superbowl or a casual get together. All the spices are to taste. The measurements below are estimates, I rarely measure. Feel free to cut back on the Jalepeno if you don't like your food spicy. Also, instead of just plain ground beef, I have made it using left-over chili, just cut back on the spices then.Use more or less Milk to make cheese as thin/thick as you like, keep in mind the salsa will thin it out. You can use Pepper jack Velveeta if you cannot find the Mexican style. Also, leftover chili or 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb Chorizo instead of ground beef has had awesome results in my household, just cut back on seasonings. My mother likes to put this into a Crockpot to cook while she makes dinner.

Tips:

Utilize Quality Cheese: Opt for fresh, high-quality cheeses like sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese to ensure a rich and flavorful dip.
Achieve Creaminess: Use a combination of cheeses with varying textures to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. For extra creaminess, incorporate cream cheese or sour cream.
Spice It Up: Add a kick of heat with spices like chili powder, cayenne pepper, or diced jalapeños. Adjust the quantity to suit your desired level of spiciness.
Enhance Flavor with Aromatics: Sauté aromatics like onions, garlic, and bell peppers in butter to create a flavorful base for the dip. This adds depth and complexity to the overall taste.
Don't Overcook: Avoid overcooking the dip, as this can result in a thick, rubbery texture. Keep the heat low and stir frequently to ensure a smooth and velvety consistency.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the dip with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon for an attractive presentation. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable crudités for dipping.
