Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Oz White American Cheese
  • 4 Oz Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
  • 4 Oz Canned Green Chiles
  • 2 Tbsp Pickled Jalapenos
  • 1/4 Tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • Chop your white American cheese into small cubes carefully. Chop the Monterey Jack cheese into small pieces too. Place the cheese cubes inside your medium saucepan now.
  • Pour the whole milk over the cheese cubes gently. Turn your kitchen stove to low heat settings immediately. Never use high heat for melting cheese blocks.
  • Stir the mixture constantly with your wooden spoon. Watch the cheese melt into a smooth liquid slow. This process takes about eight to ten minutes.
  • Open your cans of green chiles and jalapenos carefully. Stir the diced green chiles into the melted cheese. Add the finely chopped pickled jalapenos next.
  • Sprinkle the ground cumin into the warm sauce pan. Add the savory garlic powder to the mixture now. Stir well to combine all your spices evenly.
  • Remove the hot saucepan from the stove burner carefully. Pour the warm queso blanco into a serving bowl. Serve it immediately while it is hot and runny.

Notes

  • Always melt your cheese over very low heat settings.
  • Stir the cheese constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Use high-quality block cheese for the absolute best texture.
  • Add extra milk if your cheese dip looks too thick.
