  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
