5-INGREDIENT WHITE QUESO

5-INGREDIENT WHITE QUESO

This 5 Ingredient White Queso is SO simple and easy to make, and requires NO Velveeta! Just throw all the ingredients together, melt over low heat, and you’ll be rewarded with queso that’s perfect for dipping.

Hello, my friends! I am sharing some insanely easy, delicious white queso with y’all today! I was coerced into bringing queso to work by my colleagues, and I figured why not blog the recipe while I was at it? They requested restaurant style cheesy dip, and that’s what I tried to accomplish here! This 5-ingredient wonder is so simple to make, and the best part? NO Velveeta! To each his own, but I just can’t stomach that stuff. Anything that is half chemicals and is somehow shelf stable cheese “product” should probably not be consumed. But I digress. Queso! Made with real food! Let’s do it.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb pepperjack cheese
• 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
• ½ cup full-fat sour cream
• 1 10oz can original Rotel tomatoes & green chilies, drained
• ¾ cup whole milk (if needed)

*optional*

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp chili powder

*NOTE: I have gotten mixed feedback about using low-fat substitutions so use full-fat dairy for best results!*

*NOTE 2: For a smoother queso, try using half white American cheese and half pepperjack!*

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium pot over LOW heat, combine the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel.
2. Let the mixture heat until the cheeses melt and a smooth cream forms, stirring often. This should take 15-20 minutes. Add the spices if desired. Add milk if needed.
3. Once melted, serve immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker with a "warm" setting to keep dip warm and melted. Enjoy!
