Cheese Dip Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound White American Cheese, from your grocery’s deli section
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 small can diced green chilis (approximately 4 oz)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Double Boiler: Fill the bottom pot of a double boiler with about 2 cups of simmering water, making sure the water does not boil. Place over medium-low heat to maintain gentle heat.
  2. Add Ingredients: Place the White American Cheese, milk, warm water, and diced green chilis into the top of the double boiler.
  3. Melt and Stir: Gently melt the ingredients together, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth and creamy texture without burning or separating.
  4. Serve Warm: Once fully melted and combined, ladle the queso dip into a serving dish or a small slow cooker to keep warm during serving.
  5. Accompany: Serve immediately with salty tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a double boiler to prevent the cheese from scorching and ensure a smooth melt.
  • If you don’t have a double boiler, use a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  • Warm water helps adjust the dip’s consistency to be more pourable and creamy.
  • The small can of diced green chilis adds mild heat and flavor; adjust amount based on spice preference.
