Crockpot White Queso Dip

Crockpot White Queso Dip - Dip served in a bowl with chips - Family Fresh Meals

It’s no secret that I love dips. I have dozens of dip recipes: your basic beer dip and bean dip, fancy ones like my Crab Rangoon Dip, and even sweet ones like this Creamy Oreo Dip.

But in all my years of dipping and dunking, I’ve never made a queso dip. This is a classic Mexican dip made with melted cheese, milk, chili peppers, and zesty spices. It’s great with tortilla chips or as a sauce for all kinds of Mexican foods.

Besides being versatile, queso dip is really easy to make. The key is to combine your hard cheese – I used American, but cheddar or Monterey Jack will work – with soft cream cheese, so they melt together to form a silky-smooth, creamy mixture. The heat of the peppers and spices spreads into the cheese as it melts, and all it needs is a little milk to thin it to a good dipping consistency.
