The Creamiest Queso Recipe

What makes it the creamiest? It’s the cheese.

What is the best cheese?

Without a doubt Velveeta is the BEST choice for this recipe. Is this authentic? No, however it’s the best melty cheese. It creams together with the ingredients and it’s a great choice for this recipe

Ingredients for BEST Queso Dip

• Velveeta Cheese – creamy cheese and melty, this easy cheese is perfect for this recipe!
• onion, tomatoes, garlic, jalapeños and salsa – loads of fresh ingredients give it plenty of crunch.
• mushroom soup, green chilis – easy pantry ingredients. The mushroom soup will add to the creaminess and canned green chilies give it plenty of authentic flavor.
• olive oil – to sauté the vegetables.

Steps to make queso dip recipe

1. Chop the vegetables
2. Sauté the onion over medium heat. When soft, add the garlic and sauté for just a minute more.
3. The add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine until the cheese is melted and all of the ingredients come together.

How do you keep it warm?

A small crock pot or slow cooker on the buffet table will keep this perfectly warm and dip-able thru-out the entire game.

Or keep it on the stove with small bowls handy so everyone can dip their own. Either way works!

How long do leftovers last?

Allow the dip to cool completely, cover and refrigerate. Leftovers will last three days. That is if they don’t get eaten sooner!

How can I repurpose leftover Queso Dip Recipe?

• Leftovers (if there are any) make amazing nachos on day two!
• Or completely repurpose the meal by making Queso Chicken Enchiladas! YUM!
• Another idea? Mac ‘n Cheese – spicy and so delicious! Boil the noodles and top them with queso and mix to combine. In fact this is so good, you might even need to double the recipe!
