Pepper Jack Skillet Dip Recipes

PEPPER JACK QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch; set aside.
• Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the onion, pepper, cumin, and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften and become translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the milk and bring to a simmer.
• A handful at a time, add the cheese to the saucepan, stirring after each addition until melted. Let the queso simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the dip (caution-it's hot!) and adjust for seasoning (be careful with salt because tortilla chips are usually already pretty salty).
• Transfer the queso to a bowl. Top with some cilantro and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

5-INGREDIENT QUESO (SO EASY!)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together evaporated milk, corn starch, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt until combined. Start with half the salt amount if you'd like, adding the rest to taste.
• Bring just to a light simmer (no more - don't boil!) for 1-2 minutes while frequently stirring.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese in batches, allowing each addition to melt completely. Taste test, adding additional salt as needed. If adding diced chiles or tomatoes, you can stir them in now, or transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish as desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips.
