CHEESE CON QUESO DIP

I've been making this for over 20 years, and was surprised not to see it here on Zaar. I got this recipe from my dear Auntie. I've changed it a bit over the years to make it "just a little less" on the fat than the original, but if you make this, forget your diet! I make it for special occasions only. Leftovers are great on hamburgers, in chili, use your imagination! It's yummy! The tomatoes and jalapenos can be substituted with 1-2 cans Rotel. Serve with chips of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of cheese. A good melting cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Velveeta, is essential for a smooth and creamy queso dip.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your queso dip the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the queso dip over low heat. This will help prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Stir the queso dip frequently. This will help ensure that the cheese melts evenly and does not stick to the pan.
  • Serve the queso dip immediately. Queso dip is best enjoyed fresh and warm.

Conclusion:

Queso dip is a quick and easy appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious queso dip that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you are looking for a tasty treat, give this queso dip recipe a try!
