WHAT IS QUESO BLANCO DIP?
Queso Blanco Dip is the smooth, creamy white cheese dip that is usually served up in your favorite Mexican restaurants. It is usually made with a mild white melting cheese and can either be made to be mildly spicy to very spicy depending on your tastes.
IS QUESO BLANCO DIP SPICY?
You drive your own bus on this one. You control the heat and spice you want to add. I like my homemade Queso Blanco Dip with just a tiny bit of a kick but you can certainly turn up the heat by adding more hot jalapenos and more cayenne pepper. As is, this recipe is pretty mild so plan accordingly.
HOW DO YOU MAKE QUESO BLANCO DIP?
Easy! To make your Queso Blanco Dip, just dump everything in your slow cooker. Did I say that one too fast? I promise, it’s actually really that easy. Add in your white American cheese, the cream cheese, spices, salsa verde, butter, Rotel and hot jalapenos to the slow cooker and heat on Low, stirring occasionally until cheese has melted.
I also add in a few tablespoons of the jalapeno brine for some extra kick. As your cheese starts melting and your dip starts coming together, add tablespoons of milk to reach the consistency you want. Some people like their Queso Blanco Dip to be thick and some like their queso dip to be more on the thin side so add the milk to reach the consistency that you desire. Once your cheese is melted, reduce the heat to warm and stir occasionally. Serve with chips or any thing else you want smothered in perfectly melted white cheese dip!
