A smooth and creamy queso is quintessential game-day food, so we took the classic recipe and kicked-it up a notch with jack and Cheddar cheeses. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or any of your favorite dippers for serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

10 ounces processed block cheese, diced, such as Velveeta (see Cook's Note)
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, coarsely shredded
2 ounces sharp Cheddar, coarsely shredded
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as RoTel Original (see Cook's Note)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Add the processed cheese, Monterey Jack, Cheddar and canned tomatoes (along with the juice) to a medium saucepan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until all the cheese has melted and the queso is smooth, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
To make the queso spicy, use hot diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as RoTel Hot, instead of the Original.
Processed block cheese is crucial due to its meltability and what it adds to the queso's texture. Do not try to substitute other cheeses.

QUESO CHEESE SAUCE

Queso Cheese Sauce image

This queso isn't so much a dip as it is a sauce. I use this to top my burritos, empanadas "Recipe #251992" and enchiladas. I also pour this cheese sauce all over my rice and beans, too!! Enjoy!

QUESO

Queso image

Queso, a popular Tex-Mex dip made with processed American cheese and canned tomatoes, was inspired by chile con queso, a Mexican dip of melted cheese and chiles that made its way to the United States in the 1930s and '40s. As the two-ingredient Americanized adaptation gained popularity, supermarkets began placing Ro-tel canned tomatoes near shelf-stable Velveeta cheese, and queso became mainstream. Purists will argue that any ingredient beyond American cheese and spicy diced tomatoes is unnecessary, but you can customize this recipe by adding any combination of black beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper flakes, oregano, lime zest or juice.

Time 20m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (2-pound) block processed American cheese, such as Velveeta
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chiles, preferably Ro-tel brand
Tortilla chips, for serving
1 cup rinsed canned black beans
3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 7 scallions)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
1/4 packed teaspoon fresh lime zest, plus 2 teaspoons juice (from about 1 lime)
Minced canned chipotle chiles en adobo, to taste
Kosher salt

Steps:

Roughly chop the processed cheese into 1-inch cubes, then add to a medium saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, plus 2/3 cup water, then heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can stop here, and serve immediately with chips, or proceed to Step 2, if you're feeling extra.
Stir in any combination of desired additions: black beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and lime zest and juice. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until warmed and flavors meld, about 5 minutes. If you like some extra heat, stir in chipotle chiles en adobo. Season to taste with salt, and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately. (You could also keep your queso in a slow-cooker on a low setting, stirring occasionally, to keep it molten.) Mixture will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Before you get started, be sure that all of your ingredients are prepared and ready to go near the stove. The optional jalapeño adds some flavor and some heat. If using a fresh pepper, remove the seeds and ribs, then finely chop. For jarred jalapeños, just finely chop them.
Melt the butter in a small-to-medium Dutch oven or large, deep skillet. Add the onion, jalapeño (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, while stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant while stirring, about 30 seconds.
Add the milk and cream cheese to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese has melted into the mixture (it should be mostly smooth), about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and start adding the cheese in medium handfuls, stirring after each one. Once the cheese has melted completely into the mixture, add the next handful, and so on until you have added all of the cheese.
