Provided by Valentina | The Baking Fairy

Categories     Vegetarian

Time 25m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb pepperjack cheese
8 oz full-fat cream cheese
½ cup full-fat sour cream
1 10oz can original Rotel tomatoes & green chilies, drained
¾ cup whole milk (if needed)
*optional*
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
*NOTE: I have gotten mixed feedback about using low-fat substitutions so use full-fat dairy for best results!*
*NOTE 2: For a smoother queso, try using half white American cheese and half pepperjack!*

Steps:

  • In a medium pot over LOW heat, combine the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel.
  • Let the mixture heat until the cheeses melt and a smooth cream forms, stirring often. This should take 15-20 minutes. Add the spices if desired. Add milk if needed.
  • Once melted, serve immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker with a "warm" setting to keep dip warm and melted. Enjoy!

EASY (5 INGREDIENTS) QUESO



Easy (5 Ingredients) Queso image

A really easy queso. Just mix and melt everything together. You don't even drain the canned veggies. I like it particularly because it doesn't turn into wallpaper paste after it cools a bit.

Categories     Cheese

Time 30m

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs Velveeta cheese
10 ounces rotel (any variety)
4 ounces chopped green chilies
10 3/4 ounces cream of celery soup (you won't taste it)
12 ounces evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Mix the last four ingredients together in a large, non-stick pot. I use my dutch oven.
  • DO NOT DRAIN any of the veggies. Dump the liquid in along with everything else.
  • Cube the velveeta and add to the canned ingredients.
  • Cook over low heat until the velveeta melts.
  • Stir often.
  • This makes a lot! But, it warms up great in the microwave.
  • Serve with chips or use to top enchiladas or even use in quesadillas.
  • Variation: Try adding some spicy ground meat or canned chili (with or without beans). Add other veggies like black olives or onion, too.

QUESO

A smooth and creamy queso is quintessential game-day food, so we took the classic recipe and kicked-it up a notch with jack and Cheddar cheeses. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or any of your favorite dippers for serving.

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 ounces processed block cheese, diced, such as Velveeta (see Cook's Note)
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, coarsely shredded
2 ounces sharp Cheddar, coarsely shredded
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as RoTel Original (see Cook's Note)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the processed cheese, Monterey Jack, Cheddar and canned tomatoes (along with the juice) to a medium saucepan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until all the cheese has melted and the queso is smooth, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
  • To make the queso spicy, use hot diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as RoTel Hot, instead of the Original.
  • Processed block cheese is crucial due to its meltability and what it adds to the queso's texture. Do not try to substitute other cheeses.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: For the best queso, use a cheese that melts well. Good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan or Romano, as they don't melt as smoothly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your queso will taste. If possible, use freshly grated cheese, freshly diced tomatoes, and freshly chopped cilantro.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the queso, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cheese from melting evenly and smoothly.
  • Stir constantly: Stir the queso constantly while it's cooking. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Season to taste: Once the queso is melted, season it to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to taste.

Conclusion:

Queso is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for dipping with tortilla chips, spreading on tacos, or using as a topping for nachos. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious queso that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give queso a try!
