Description

A creamy and cheesy queso dip that’s quick and easy to make, ideal for parties, snacks, or game day gatherings. This smooth dip blends melted cheese and spices for a flavorful and comforting treat.


Ingredients

Queso Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Melt butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown, to create a flavorful base for the dip.
  2. Cook flour: Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux, which will thicken the dip and give it a smooth consistency.
  3. Add milk: Gradually whisk in the milk little by little, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
  4. Melt cheese: Add the shredded cheese to the mixture, stirring gently until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is creamy.
  5. Season: Stir in the garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to taste, adjusting the seasonings to your preference.
  6. Serve warm: Serve the queso dip immediately with chips, or keep it warm to maintain its creamy texture.

Notes

  • Add diced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor and a bit of heat.
  • Keep the queso dip warm to maintain its creamy and smooth texture.
