WHITE QUESO DIP
Have you ever been to a mexican restaurant or burrito joint and tried that tasty white cheese dip? After much experimentation, I finally have a recipe that is on par with the cheese dip you can get there, and you're sure to love it too. This beats anything you can buy prepackaged in a store! If you do not have a double boiler, you can improvise by using a metal mixing bowl over a saucepan.

Steps:
- In a double boiler on low heat (enough to keep a gentle boil), add the cheese and some of the half and half.
- Stir mixture until cheese begins to evenly melt, adding half and half to result in the consistency you desire. (It should be thin enough to flow well, but thick enough to stay on a chip).
- Add diced jalapenos to mixture, according to your preference. If they are from a jar, add a teaspoon or two of the juice as well.
- Begin to add the spices. Start with the cumin and black pepper. Add red pepper gradually, tasting along the way. A little goes a long way, so be sure you don't make it too hot. I use a bit more than 1/4 tsp, you may use more or less.
- Add a pinch of chili powder, and serve hot with tortillas or chips.
- Leftovers can be microwaved (add more half and half or water to keep consistency). Don't worry about yellowing from day to day (due to spices/cheese), it will be good for 4-5 days.

Steps:
- Warm half and half in medium saucepan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add cheese in small increments, whisking well between addition, allowing cheese to melt almost completely before adding next handful.
- When all cheese has been added and melted, whisk mixture vigorously over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon diced jalapeños, 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice, and 1 big pinch salt, then whisk until completely smooth.
- Taste queso and add jalapeños and/or juice as needed for more tang and spice. Stir well and constantly to prevent queso from sticking or burning. Once desired taste has been achieved, transfer queso into bowl and serve hot.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts better and tastes creamier than pre-shredded cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. This will cause the sausage to steam instead of brown.
- Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink in the center. This will ensure that the sausage is safe to eat.
- Use a good quality queso blanco cheese. This cheese melts well and has a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
- Add the milk and cream little by little, until the queso reaches the desired consistency. You don't want the queso to be too thick or too thin.
- Season the queso to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Serve the queso immediately with tortilla chips, vegetables, or bread.
Conclusion:
Restaurant-style white queso dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
