Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound white American cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 can diced green chilies
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the white American cheese and cream cheese into small cubes for easier melting.
In a crock pot, combine the white American cheese, cream cheese, and half and half.
Drain the can of diced green chilies and add them to the crock pot. If using jalapeño, add it as well for extra heat.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Cover the crock pot and set it to Low heat.
Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure the cheese melts evenly and doesn’t stick to the sides.
Once the mixture is fully smooth and creamy, stir in the optional fresh cilantro if desired.
Turn the crock pot to the Warm setting to keep the queso molten and ready to serve.
Serve directly from the crock pot with tortilla chips or other dippers of your choice.
