Queso Blanco Dip a rich creamy cheese dip that is so smooth and delicious, serve it with your favorite chips. The perfect dip to serve for any occasion or no occasion.

Over looking a plate with a bowl of queso with a side of chips.

One of my favorite things, when we go to a Mexican restaurant, is the dips that they serve. I love salsa, but when it comes down to it I really enjoy a delicious queso dip. All that creamy gooey cheesy goodness with a little spice.

We have a small local Mexican restaurant that we like to get take out from and queso is one of the things that we order. This recipe reminds me of this dip that I love so much.

Not only is it delicious, but it is super simple to make. I am sure that you will love how easy it is to make and how yummy it is.

Helpful Tips:

  • I would suggest using white American cheese for this recipe. The result is a super creamy dip.
  • If you can’t find a block of American cheese you can use slices.
  • Heat over medium heat, but keep on an eye on it so the cheese does not scorch.
  • Use evaporated milk for a creamier texture.
  • If you prefer the dip to be thinner add additional milk.
  • If there is leftover dip, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  • To reheat simply heat in the microwave. You may need to add some additional evaporated milk to the dip.

    Lovely. I’d love to dive into the dip! And thank you for not using velveeta. Other cheeses work for dips, too!

    Your post is sure making me miss those local Mexican dining spots we use to frequent when living in the US. We also always ordered a bowl of Queso to start with when we dined Mexican. I’m also fond of having queso dip poured over my beef enchiladas. I’ll be making up a batch soon, but I’ll have to use Swedish farm cheese.
