1 pound processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel®)
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup 2% milk
⅓ (8 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Turn a slow cooker (such as Crock Pot®) on High; coat lightly with cooking spray. Fill with processed cheese, mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with green chiles, evaporated milk, sour cream, milk, and cream cheese. Cover with the lid. Cook until mostly melted, about 1 hour.

SLOW-COOKER QUESO



Slow-Cooker Queso image

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.

Time 2h10m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces pepper Jack cheese, shredded (2 cups)
4 ounces American cheese, shredded (1 cup)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chiles, such as Ro-Tel
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Kosher salt
Finely chopped red onion, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro leaves, and tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a 1 1/2-quart slow cooker, toss both cheeses with cornstarch to evenly coat. Stir in tomatoes and evaporated milk; season with salt.
  • Cover and cook on low until mixture is bubbling and thickened slightly, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and stir until smooth. Season with more salt and garnish with onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a block of Velveeta cheese for a smooth and creamy queso. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it contains cellulose, which can make the queso grainy.
  • Add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies for a little bit of heat and flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack.
  • Add some cooked ground beef or sausage for a hearty queso that can be served as a main course.
  • Top the queso with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, or crumbled bacon.
  • Serve the queso with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
