Ingredients
  

For the Queso
  • 16 oz White American Cheese Freshly sliced from the deli for smooth melting.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can be swapped with half-and-half for richer flavor.
  • 1 can (4 oz) Green Chilies Can be replaced with diced jalapeños for more heat.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the White American cheese into small cubes for easy melting. Place the cheese in a medium saucepan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  2. Pour in a cup of whole milk over the cheese cubes. Follow by adding the can of green chilies, draining them slightly if you prefer a thicker queso.
  3. Turn the heat to medium-low and gently whisk the ingredients together for about 5-7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Assess your queso's consistency. Add more milk for a thinner version, or reduce the milk for a thicker dip.
  5. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving bowl, garnish if desired, and enjoy with tortilla chips or nachos.
