Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Make ahead of time. This recipe only takes 15 minutes to make, but if you make it a little early, it can be kept in a slow cooker on warm for up to 4 hours.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Reheat slowly over low heat adding more milk if needed to help smooth out the dip.
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly. Overheating can cause the cheese to separate and become grainy.
- Using room-temperature milk and cheese will help them incorporate smoothly and avoid lumps.
- We like to use a small crock pot to keep the queso warm during events.
- For a spicer dip add in red pepper flakes or sliced jalapenos.
