Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 oz. canned jalapeños or 1 jalapeño minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 4 oz. shredded pepper jack cheese
- 8 oz. Velveeta cheese
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the butter, jalapeño, and garlic to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, the jalapeño is tender-- about 2 minutes.
- Next, add the milk to the saucepan and whisk the ingredients together. Let the milk heat over medium heat until warm. Be careful not to burn the milk.
- Gradually add the cheeses to the warm milk, stirring constantly. Stir until the cheeses have melted.
- Serve topped with additional jalapeño and fresh cilantro.
Tips & Notes
- To reheat: transfer the cold queso back into a saucepan. Heat over low/medium. Add more whole milk as needed and mix until smooth and creamy.
- As queso sits, it will thicken. We recommend serving it in a slow cooker on low or keeping it right in the saucepan and reheating every so often on the stovetop to make sure it stays creamy.
