Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups white cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can diced green chiles
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: olive oil, diced onion, minced garlic, shredded white cheese, milk, diced green chiles, and salt.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup of diced onion to the skillet. Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add 1 clove of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually add 2 cups of shredded white cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously to help it melt evenly.
- Once the cheese has begun to melt, slowly pour in 1 cup of milk, continuing to stir to create a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Add 1 can of diced green chiles to the cheese mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
- Season the dip with salt to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Continue to cook the queso dip on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the dip is fully melted and heated through.
- Once the dip is creamy and well combined, remove it from the heat. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or your favorite dipping items.
- Enjoy your Easy White Queso Dip!
Tips
- Choose the Right Cheese: For the best melting results, opt for a combination of cheeses like Monterey Jack and white cheddar. This will enhance the flavor and texture of your dip.
- Control the Heat: If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce along with the green chiles.
- Make it Creamier: If you find the dip too thick, simply add a bit more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: For a burst of freshness, toss in some chopped cilantro or diced tomatoes before serving.
- Serve Warm: Queso dip is best enjoyed warm. If it cools down, reheat it gently over low heat, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth.
- Pair it Right: This dip is fantastic with tortilla chips, but don’t hesitate to serve it with fresh vegetables, soft pretzels, or even drizzled over tacos for an extra cheesy touch!
