I recently had some awesome tasting Queso Dip at a party catered by Tijuana Flats. It was so delicious that I wanted to try and recreate something similar at home. It took a few go arounds, but I came up with a good homage to the flavor and consistency of their queso. I absolutely LOVE this cheese dip and will be serving it at my parties.
You can make this in your microwave or a small 2 quart crock pot.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb Velveeta Queso Blanco
1 cup Shredded Colby Monterrey Jack cheese
1 cup half & half
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 can of Rotel (well drained) I use the original mild. I press it in the strainer to drain it well.
Microwave Directions:
Chop the Velveeta Queso Blanco into 1 inch cubes. Add it and the shredded cheese to your bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Microwave until hot and melted; stirring occasionally.
Tip: Mild Rotel will add a small amount of heat to this queso. If you prefer no heat at all to your queso, you may try replacing the Rotal with 1 cup of well drained mild salsa.

ReplyDeleteWhy does the Rotel have to be well drained?
ReplyDeleteSo the cheese sauce isnt watered down

ReplyDeleteEver since I moved away from FL I have been craving this. Now if I could find a way to make Brewsters' Graham Central Station Ice Cream I would never have to go back to FL again
ReplyDeleteHow long did you leave it in the Crockpot for?
