Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Heat the ingredients together in a skillet or saucepan over low heat until melted, stirring often.
- For the most accurate texture, you should puree the cooked dip in a blender.
Notes
- Cube the cheese properly: Smaller, uniform cubes melt faster and more evenly
- Low and slow is key: Never rush the melting process with high heat
- Stir constantly: The most crucial step for preventing scorching and ensuring smooth texture
- Pre-warm your serving dish: Running hot water over your serving dish before adding the queso helps maintain the perfect temperature
- Quality matters: While this is a simple recipe, using Hormel chili delivers explicitly the most authentic flavor
- Temperature control: Remove from heat just as everything is melted and combined, before it reaches a boil
- For entertaining: Make a double batch and keep warm in a slow cooker set to low
