Queso Dip
On Sunday we had friends over to watch the football games. I made a big pot of chili and Josh made his favorite Queso Dip. Good food and football go hand in hand at our house:) Unfortunately, Josh’s team, the 49′ers, lost, but at least his Queso Dip was a winner. This easy cheese dip is perfect game day food. You really can’t go wrong with a big bowl of melted cheese and salty tortilla chips. Mmmmm!
There is nothing complicated about this Queso Dip. The dip takes 10 minutes tops to make, which makes it perfect for parties. You can reheat the cheese in the microwave, but if you are going to serve this Queso Dip at a party, I highly recommend you serve it in a crockpot so you don’t have to worry about heating it up again and again. The crockpot will keep the cheese melted and smooth. The dip isn’t spicy, but has a nice flavor. If you want a bit of a kick, you can add an additional jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
So I guess we are looking at a Patriots vs. Giants Super Bowl. Who will you be cheering for? I am still undecided. Josh is cheering for the Patriots, but I might have to root for the Giants to keep things interesting:) I do know we will be making this Queso Dip for the big game. It is a must for Super Bowl Sunday.
Make sure you add this Queso Dip to your Super Bowl party menu. It is sure to be a hit on game day!

i had ice cream for dinner, but really want this now.
This almost kinda sorta makes me wish I was going to a superbowl party this year! but instead I’m going to a four year old’s birthday party…I have a feeling this will be a hit there as well!
Yum…I love that it’s not the typical velveeta (which weirds me out anyway) and RoTel. We’re having friends over for the Super Bowl and you have to have cheese dip! Thanks for the recipe.
Looks awesome Maria. I am adding this to the Superbowl must makes!
Husband will be at a Super Bowl party so might send this dip with him (or make it and eat it all myself!) Cape Cod girl, so GO PATS!!
Looks delicious, I’ll be making it! Thanks.
Great for game day!
I can see why this dip is a winner!
I just wanted to tell you both how much I have come to appreciate your blog. I guess I came across it about a year ago, but I have been reading it more and more and looking through the archives because I am looking for vegetarian inspiration. You have some really wonderful, affordable recipes that I think even I could make — no fancy techniques or tools required — and I so appreciate that. Thank you!

Thanks for your kind comment! Thanks for following our blog!
I am planning on checking through your archives for SuperBowl recipes. This dip looks yummy.
I am from Boston so I am with Josh…GO PAT’S
I’m linking to this recipe on my blog. Please let me know if that’s not okay. Thanks!
I make a dip almost exactly like this but with spinach in it. LOVE it!
I am not a fan of cheese, but I have a friend who is obsessed with white cheese dip. I can’t wait to share this with her!
This is pretty much the definition of creamy, queso-y goodness. I think I’ll just swan dive in it, no chips needed.
The texture of this dip looks perfect for dipping. The ingredients sound so good with the american cheese.
soeasy! looks lovely too

I made this last night and it did not come together. The whole thing was separated. the cheese would not melt into the milk (I used the same cheese as you did and followed the instructions to a t). I had to end up adding flour to some of the separated milk in a separate bowl then stirred it back in and it finally came together. the only bad part was it was too thick now and tasted a little like raw flour. Do you know what i could have done wrong? Any suggestions because the flavor was great!? Thanks!

I am not sure why you had trouble. The cheese should melt right together. We’ve never had an issue. Sorry!

is there a way to make it thicker? looks too runny for my taste.

You can thicken it with flour, but we like the consistency the way it is.
