Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds white American cheese (or Queso Blanco Velveeta)
- 9 ounce chopped green chiles (2 - 4.5 ounce cans)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, chopped
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Optional Toppings:
- Cooked chorizo
- Corn
- Black beans
- Pico de gallo
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Set a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter, diced onions, and ground cumin. Stir and cook the onions for 3-4 minutes to soften.
- Meanwhile, chop the cheese into 1-inch cubes. If using white American cheese from the deli, rip the slices into pieces. Then chop the jalapenos into small pieces.
- Once the onions are softened, add in the cheese, green chiles, milk, and jalapenos. Stir until all the cheese has melted and the queso thickens.
- Once the queso blanco is almost as thick as you like it, turn off the heat. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve immediately, or pour into a small crockpot to keep warm.

Notes
Like It Spicy? The pickled jalapenos add a little heat. However, you can use mild, medium, or hot green chiles in this recipe.
Homemade white cheese dip will keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Be sure to let the queso cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and placing in the fridge.
