Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of white American cheese, 1 can (10 oz) of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of onion powder, and tortilla chips for serving.
- Prepare your slow cooker by plugging it in and setting it to low heat. This will ensure that your queso dip cooks slowly and evenly.
- Cube the white American cheese into small, even pieces. This will help it melt more uniformly in the crock pot.
- Open the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and drain any excess liquid if desired, though some liquid can be left for added flavor.
- In the slow cooker, combine the cubed white American cheese, the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp of onion powder.
- Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients evenly. Ensure that the cheese is distributed throughout the mixture for consistent melting.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and let the mixture cook on low heat for approximately 2 hours. During this time, the cheese will melt and the flavors will meld together.
- After about 1 hour of cooking, stir the mixture occasionally to ensure that the cheese is melting evenly and to prevent any sticking to the sides of the crock pot.
- Once the cooking time is complete and the queso is creamy and smooth, give it a final stir to combine any ingredients that may have settled.
- Serve the warm queso dip immediately with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Crock Pot White Queso Dip Queso Blanco!
Tips
- Quality Cheese Matters: For the best melting experience, opt for high-quality white American cheese. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the smoothness of your dip.
- Customize Your Heat: If you like your queso with a kick, consider adding a few diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mix. This will give your dip an extra layer of flavor and spice.
- Stir Occasionally: While cooking, make sure to stir the queso dip every 30 minutes. This helps ensure even melting and prevents the cheese from sticking to the sides of the crock pot.
- Serve Warm: This dip is best enjoyed warm and gooey. If it starts to thicken as it cools, you can stir in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Perfect Pairings: While tortilla chips are a classic choice for dipping, don’t hesitate to serve this queso with fresh veggies, soft pretzels, or even drizzled over tacos for an added flavor boost!
