Notes
- Queso too thick? Keeping the slow cooker on warm will help the queso not solidify. If it's still too thick for your liking, add a couple tablespoons of milk at a time until it's your desired consistency.
- Can you use already shredded cheese? In short, I wouldn't recommend it. Bagged shredded cheese usually have anti-caking agents in them which can make the cheese not melt and stick together as well as if you shred it yourself.
- Where do I find white American cheese? Check the deli at your grocery store for white American cheese. That's usually where I'm able to find it!
- What if I don't have a slow cooker? No problem at all! You can make this recipe on your stove top just as easily. Follow the same instructions but add your cheeses to a large pot on your stove over low/medium heat instead of a slow cooker.
