Ingredients
White Queso Dip
- 1 pound white American cheese, cubed
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup pico de gallo, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Place the cubed white American cheese, salsa verde, and half and half in a pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even melting.
- Melt Until Smooth: Continue cooking and stirring until all the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and pour the queso dip into a serving bowl. Top with fresh pico de gallo if desired and serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Use white American cheese for the best melting texture and creamy consistency.
- Stir frequently to prevent the cheese from burning or sticking to the pan.
- Adjust the amount of salsa verde if you prefer a milder or spicier dip.
- This dip is best served warm; reheat gently if needed.
- You can substitute half and half with whole milk or heavy cream for a richer or lighter texture.
