Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed or shredded
- 3/4 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, undrained
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Pinch of cumin (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Optional Additions:
- Diced jalapeños for heat
- Extra milk or water to thin
- Fresh cilantro or tomatoes for garnish
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the cubed white American cheese and milk into a medium saucepan set over low heat.
- Melt Slowly: Stir frequently, allowing the cheese to melt gently. Keep heat low to prevent separation.
- Add Flavor: Stir in diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin until fully smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If too thick, add a splash of milk or water to reach desired texture.
- Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving bowl or mini slow cooker. Serve with chips, pretzels, veggies, or drizzle over nachos and tacos.
Notes
- Use only low heat—high heat causes cheese to clump or turn grainy.
- White American cheese melts best for classic restaurant-style queso.
- Green chilies add flavor depth and mild heat—don’t skip them!
- Keep queso warm in a mini crockpot for party serving.
- Perfect for nachos, tacos, burritos, breakfast hashes, and more.
