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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
