Mexican White Cheese Dip (Queso)

Posted by Mandy on February 4th, 2012. Filed under: Appetizers, Dips, Mexican, Salsas, Snacks.

I’ll be short with tonight’s post because it’s Friday night and I’m probably the only one east of the Mississippi that’s not got something exciting going on. *sigh* This is one of those recipes that, without a doubt, pleases everyone. I’ve never met a person that doesn’t enjoy a good bowl of Mexican cheese dip at their favorite local restaurant. In order to keep from going broke buying my kid’s their needed supply of this stuff, I needed to find a way to make it at home. This is our family’s favorite, but feel free to add/remove ingredients to your liking. Oh, and make this for your Super Bowl party on Sunday…you know it’s totally typical football food and positively needs to be on the table/buffet. Oh, and if you know what’s good for you, serve it right beside this (http://www.thesupermomchef.com/?p=555) homemade salsa. Dip in the cheese dip first, then salsa, then devour. All kinds of deliciousness, YUM!

 

Mexican White Cheese Dip (Queso)

1/2 pound white American cheese, cubed

1/2 – 1 cup milk

1 small onion, diced

1 jalapeno, diced (leave the ribs and seeds in for more heat)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 garlic clove, minced or chopped

1 tablespoon oil

snipped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Place a medium size saucepan over medium-high heat; add oil. Add onions and peppers, and saute until the onions are translucent and peppers are softened. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add cubed cheese and milk (start with 1/2 cup and add additional milk to desired thin-ness), stirring often, until completely melted. Serve hot with freshly snipped cilantro for garnish, if desired.

    I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. I really found you by mistake, while I was browsing on Bing for something else. Anyways I am here now and would just like to say thank you for a great post and an all round enjoyable blog. (I also enjoy the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment, but I have added your website to my favorites, so when I have time I will be back to read more. Please do keep up the awesome job!

    You can also present your web link on numerous short article directory sites.
    However; SEO never ends, it is a unique process of making sure there is always fresh and quality content
    on your business website. They rank the web pages that have the
    top search engine result and returns. When your website is optimized
    by experts, you get the best value for money and high levels of page ranking at all
    times. I gave hypnotic postcards home based business a try last year (2011); about six months ago.
    If the nature of your site does not need frequent updating adding a blog is
    one way of doing this.
