Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2.5 cups / 225 g Cheddar cheese, freshly shredded ((Important - read Note 1))
1 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
1/2 tbsp / 8 g butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 small white onion, very finely chopped (1/4 cup)
375 g / 13 oz evaporated milk (1 can, not low fat)
1 small tomato, finely diced (3/4 cup) ((Note 2))
1/4 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, cumin
4 oz / 113g can chopped green chile, fire roasted ((Subs Note 3))
1/4 cup coriander / cilantro, finely chopped
2 - 3 tbsp milk, any
Salt

Steps:

Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

Rich, creamy, with bits of spice and tang from jalapeno peppers--this dip is just like the good stuff you get in restaurants but you'll get 3 to 4 times the amount for the same price. Serve with crispy light tortilla chips, or over nachos, a burrito, or heck, even a shoe it's so good!

THE BOMB QUESO DIP!

The Bomb Queso Dip! image

In my early years, I was known for making a plain old basic Queso Dip. I'm still asked to bring "Cheese Dip" often to parties, campouts, anywhere that certain friends will be. My recipe is never the same and it has evolved over the years....but here goes my chance to put it down on paper (or internet). By the way....please don't call it "Con" Queso Dip unless you are adding a noun to the name....like "Chili Con Queso"...its not just "Con Queso"....that's my OCD-ness :)

Tips:

Choose the right cheese: Use a blend of cheeses that melt well together, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca. Avoid cheeses that are too hard or crumbly, as they will not melt smoothly.
Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your queso dip will taste. Use freshly grated cheese, chopped vegetables, and herbs.
Don't overheat the cheese: Overheating the cheese can cause it to become grainy and tough. Cook the queso dip over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
Serve with your favorite dippers: Queso dip is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Queso dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy texture and flavorful blend of spices, queso dip is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
