Ingredients
- 1 pound white, deli-sliced American cheese
- ⅔ cup milk or half-and-half
- 3–4 tablespoons canned, chopped green chiles or jalapeños
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (optional)
Instructions
- Use a slow cooker on the lowest setting to prevent the cheese from cooking too quickly and becoming grainy
- Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and heat धीरे gradually while stirring occasionally until smooth and thick
- If using a double boiler, heat the milk with chopped chiles and spices first
- Add the American cheese slices gradually, 1–2 slices at a time
- Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy
- Continue stirring until all ingredients are fully combined and the dip reaches the desired consistency
Notes
Serve the queso dip warm with tortilla chips, nachos, or fresh vegetables. It also pairs well with tacos, burritos, and grilled meats. To keep it warm during serving, use a slow cooker on the “warm” setting. For storage, allow the dip to cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore its creamy texture.
