  This is my go to recipe for queso. I have even started using it for a white cheese mac n cheese. I make up the queso, add the cooked macaroni and pop into the oven for a little bit. It’s so good and my family loves it.

  Love this cheese dip recipe. I double the green chili's and the jalapenos in my portion. It's also great once it is solidified cold with Ritz crackers.

  Anonymous, you are right. I've never had a dip like this in any of the little Mom and Pop Mexican restaurants I've tried. The fact is, many of the Tex-Mex or Southwestern restaurant chains are not serving Mexican cuisine like your mom would make at home. They serve a hybrid cuisine. Probably inspired by Mexicans who moved here and couldn't get the proper ingredients from home, or Mexicans who married Americans and the cuisines mixed. Whatever the case, THIS recipe is great! It's simple, and it tastes just like the white queso dip from our favorite Southwestern restaurant. We don't live near a Moe's anymore, so my husband was super happy to find this recipe. I can't believe how simple it is. We couldn't find Land-O-Lakes, so we had to use Kraft white singles- and still, this recipe was really good! I added a little of the liquid from the jar of jalapeno slices, and it amped the flavor up even more. We saw other recipes that required more ingredients, but all the great reviews made me try this one. It's amazing how adding FEWER ingredients really amounts to more. <3
