AUTHENTIC CHILE CON QUESO
This is a true chile con queso that can be eaten with tostadas or in a warm corn tortilla. This is not like the Americanized version of chili con queso that we have become used to that is a cheese dip, which I also love. This is the way my grandma used to make it. The great thing about this recipe is you can play with it and adjust it to your personal taste. If you like it cheesier add more cheese. You can't mess this up unless you burn it.

CHILI CON QUESO
Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. -Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico

SLOW-COOKER QUESO
On gameday, queso is an undisputed MVP but it often loses steam (and silkiness) by halftime. To combat the cooldown issue, this recipe calls for making the queso in a slow cooker, which you can keep plugged in to maintain cheesy, melty bliss through the final drive.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of chile con queso, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding your own cheese will ensure that it melts evenly and smoothly.
- Use a slow cooker. A slow cooker is the perfect appliance for making chile con queso. It allows the cheese to melt slowly and evenly, and it also helps to keep the queso warm for hours.
- Add some spice. Chile con queso is traditionally a spicy dish. You can add spice to your queso by using spicy peppers, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the queso. Overcooked queso will become thick and rubbery. Cook the queso until it is melted and smooth, but not overcooked.
Conclusion:
Chile con queso is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or game days. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can make a delicious batch of chile con queso that everyone will love.
