2 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

TEXAS BEST CHEESE DIP (CHILE CON QUESO)



Texas Best Cheese Dip (Chile Con Queso) image

This is a delicious cheese dip that my daughter makes. The cream cheese gives it a wonderful consistency. All the fresh ingredients make this a dip that you will be asked for over and over again! Please note I have put "to taste" on alot of the ingredients as it depends on how big your bunch of veggies are. If you actually get lucky enough to have any left it keeps in the fridge a good while and reheats great. I usually serve/take this dip in a crockpot so it stays warm.

Queso Blanco Dip (White Cheese Dip) Recipe image

Provided by Morganp9661

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 lb block White American Cheese (Land O'Lakes brand preferred, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup diced green chiles
2 pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 ounce pickled jalapeno juice
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup cold water
pinch of cumin (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted. Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish. *Recipe Note: White American cheese is found at most deli counters in your local grocery store. *Reheat Instructions: Store any leftover cheese dip in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until creamy and hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your queso dip.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the flavor and texture of your dip.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your dip a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much cheese to the pan at once, it will not melt evenly and will become clumpy.
  • Stir the dip constantly. This will prevent the cheese from burning and will help to create a smooth, creamy dip.
  • Season the dip to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:
