Mexican Cheese Dip Recipe
Description
To prepare Mexican Cheese Dip, butter is melted in a saucepan, then combined with flour to form a paste or roux, which cooks briefly to remove raw flour taste. Milk is whisked in slowly to create a smooth, slightly thickened sauce. Shredded cheese is added and stirred until melted, yielding a creamy cheese sauce. Salt may be included optionally to enhance flavor. Additional milk can be incorporated to reach the preferred dip consistency.
The dip has a smooth, rich texture suitable for accompanying chips or as a topping. The method ensures even melting and keeps the dip cohesive without graininess. Adjusting milk allows for thinning or thickening depending on use.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1 cup cheese shredded, favorite
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt optional, coarse
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour until fully combined and it makes a paste. Whisk in the milk until smooth and bubbly.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and salt (if using).
- Add additional milk until your queso dip reaches the desired consistency.
