I've tried a lot of queso recipes over the years. A lot. Too many really. Bad ones. Okay ones. No good ones. I finally asked a big group on FB and so many people gave me this recipe. My best friend was coming into town a few days later so we tried and it and yes. Yes yes yes. This is it! It was delicious and creamy and perfect!!! This recipe was adapted from Seeded at the Table.
1 1/4 lb block white american cheese (from the deli)
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup cold water
3 tbsp diced green chiles
3-4 tbsp diced pickled jalapenos
pinch of cumin
Cut the cheese into 1 inch cubes. Place in the bottom of a microwave safe bowl. Pour the milk and water over it. Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes stirring in between each minute. Continue to heat for 2 more minutes and whisk between every 30 seconds. Heat for 30 more seconds if it is still too clumpy. Stir in green chiles, jalapenos and cumin. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips. Store leftover in the refrigerator.
Ooooooo!!! Trying it!!!
