Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk or wooden spoon
- Cheese grater (if using block cheese)
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Serving bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded white American cheese or Velveeta-style cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 can 4 oz diced green chilies
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Optional: chopped jalapeños for extra heat
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the base
- In a medium saucepan, add the milk and heavy cream. Warm it over low to medium heat. Do not boil—just gently heat until steaming.
Step 2: Melt the cheese
- Slowly add shredded cheese, a handful at a time, whisking continuously. This helps prevent clumping and ensures a smooth texture.
- The Casa Ole Queso Recipe is all about patience here—low heat is key.
Step 3: Add flavor
- Once the cheese is fully melted, stir in green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
- Mix well until everything is smooth and combined.
Step 4: Adjust consistency
- If the queso is too thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer gently for a few more minutes.
Step 5: Taste and finish
- Add salt if needed. For extra heat, mix in chopped jalapeños.
Step 6: Serve warm
- Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Always melt cheese on low heat
- Use good melting cheese (American or processed cheese works best)
- Whisk continuously for smooth texture
- Don’t rush the process
- Serve immediately for best consistency
