Queso Dip Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded processed cheese (such as Velveeta or American cheese)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup diced green chilies (mild or hot, depending on preference)

Instructions

1. Melt the Cheese: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded cheese and milk. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and burning, allowing the cheese to gradually melt into the milk for a smooth base.
2. Add Green Chilies: Stir in the diced green chilies once the cheese mixture is halfway melted. Continue stirring until all ingredients are fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
3. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and transfer the queso dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping snacks.

Notes

• Use processed cheese for a smoother, creamier texture typical of Chili’s queso dip.
• If you prefer a spicier dip, use hot green chilies instead of mild.
• Stir continuously while melting the cheese to prevent clumping or burning.
• This dip is best enjoyed warm but can be gently reheated if needed.
• Adjust milk quantity slightly to achieve desired dip consistency.
