Go-to Queso Dip



Queso is one of those recipes I try over and over again.  I’ve tried so many variations and they’ve all been delicious, but as time goes on, I’ve found that one of the simplest recipes is the best and I make it whenever Spud requests queso.



It's equally delicious with chips or fresh veggies!


Note that this is a spicier queso, but that’s how we roll around here.

Recipe Note

If you can’t find Hot Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis, add an additional 4 ounce can of hot diced green chilis

  1. The spicier the better is the mantra at our house too, Amy. Lovely queso!

  2. I'm all for spicier too and I love that this doesn't include Velveeta. I always keep Rotel on hand so this is right up my alley.

  3. Such a quick and tasty dip. I will have to look up hot diced tomatoes, but this surely is a crowd pleaser :)
