This homemade Mexican Queso Dip is easy to make and comes out creamy and smooth every time! Now you can make your favorite restaurant queso at home!

Easy Mexican Queso Dip

unsalted butter

onions

garlic ((about 2 cloves))

jalapeño, (minced (seeds removed if you don't want it spicy))

coarse sea salt

milk, (divided)

block cream cheese,

mild cheddar cheese, (shredded (about 1 1/2 cups))

Monterey Jack cheese, (shredded (about 1 1/2 cups))

diced tomatoes and green chiles (, drained)

Heat a large saute pan or deep skillet over low-medium heat. Add butter and melt.

Add onions, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Saute for about 5 minutes, until vegetables soften and become very fragrant.

Add 3/4 cups of milk and cream cheese. Stir continuously until cream cheese has melted and is mostly smooth, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

Add shredded cheeses in small increments, stirring each increment into the mixture until it has completely melted before adding the next.

Once all the cheese is melted, remove the pan from the heat to prevent it from overcooking.

Add the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles and remaining 3/4 cups of milk. Gently stir until the mixture is combined and the dip is smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately.

Recipe VIDEO above. Copycat of Queso Dip (Mexican Cheese Dip) sold in jars in the US and at Mexican restaurants. Made with real cheese and stays silky smooth even when it cools! AND it reheats perfectly. Makes about 2.5 cups. IMPORTANT: Please read Note 1 regarding store bought shredded cheese.

Queso Dip (Mexican Cheese Dip)

cornstarch

tbsp / 8 g butter

garlic clove, minced

small white onion, very finely chopped (1/4 cup)

375 g / 13 oz evaporated milk (1 can, not low fat)

tomato, finely diced (3/4 cup) ((Note 2))

tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, cumin

coriander / cilantro, finely chopped

Salt

Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.

Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.

Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.

Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.

Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.

Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.

Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.

Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.

Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.

Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

red bell pepper

cayenne (adjust the hear to your own preference)

Grate cheeses on the large grater and set aside. Dice jalapenos and discard the seeds. Smash and mince garlic. Dice bell pepper and green onions and set everything aside. (If you want spicier dip, use older jalapenos. Use younger jalapenos for less spice.)

Melt butter in a bottom-heavy sauce pot, over medium to medium-low heat.

Add diced peppers and garlic and saute until peppers start to soften.

Sprinkle flour over the top and stir to coat the peppers with flour. Slowly pour in heavy whipping cream while whisking continuously.

Add cheeses to the pot, one handful at a time, while slowly stirring. Continue stirring with the whisk until cheese is all melted and smooth.

Stir in green onions and season with some salt and cayenne pepper (if using) and take off heat. Serve right away with your favorite tortilla chips.

Mine turned out great! I used Velveeta instead of American cheese and it was delicious.

Just made this for my sons birthday and it turned out great! I only followed the cheese instructions, not the vegetable instructions because it was for dipping soft pretzels. I used American, Havarti and Cheddar. I also used Cashew milk instead of regular milk.

I use sliced deli cheese rather than shredded Cheese and it worked out really nicely

This is a fantastic recipe.   I missed the green chillies but it still turned out great.    I opted to add some more milk for the consistency (because I used more cheese).  Thanks a lot!

I’m lactose intolerant so I didn’t add the milk, just extra cheese. Turned out great. A little sticky though. Wouldn’t change a thing! 3 out of 5 stars

I think that i will try velveeta  cheese next time. I used what ever i had in the refrigerator. It took and took a while to melt and get it thicker.I had to add more cheese to make it more thick. I also didn't have some the other ingredients but it turned out pretty good.

Absolutely outstanding!  Does this freeze well?

This recipe turned out great.  Just add the cheese slowly and do not use pre-shredded.

This is a great recipe and I’ve made it 3 times already

Awesome dip! Made a hit at bunco's. Made another dip for daughter . She said it was so good. Its a keeper.

This is the worst tasting Queso ever. followed the recipe to the dot. Looks really good. But it tastes so bad. Do not use this recipe would rather just eat the brick of cheese.

This recipe was perfect for me. Dont know why so many had trouble. I could have warned you all not to use cheddar. You can make queso from cheddar but you really gotta know what you're doing. I used boar's head american and pepper jack from the deli and it was great. Always have used velveeta in the past but trust me this american recipe is way better

This recipe is the worst... feel free to add COMPLETE instructions next time.

flour

milk (we recommend evaporated milk

V&V Supremo® Chihuahua® Brand Quesadilla Cheese

salt

2-3 ears of corn, roasted (2 cups)

fresh cilantro, chopped

V&V Supremo® Queso Fresco

over chips

CHIPS duh

Garlic and Jalapeño

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeños and garlic and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until very soft and fragrant (but don&#8217;t burn or brown the garlic).

Flour, Milk, and Cheese

I can't wait to try this recipe. I love this delicious food. Thanks.

I was having people over today, and so I decided to try this, and it was so good!  I followed the recipe as it was written, and it was so easy.  I will definitely make this again!

I will say, I didn't take any of the jalapeño seeds out, so it was on the spicy side, so for people who don't like spicy foods, just don't include the seeds.  I like spicy foods, and so did everyone else, but just a heads up.

I have now shared this recipe with everyone I know. I made this for dinner tonight and I had to take the bowl off the table before my husband and I ate the entire batch. Absolutely delicious!

This is SO GOOD! Love how easy the queso base is. Definitely will be making this again!

I brought this to a small gathering for a Big Little Lies binge watch. I made  a double batch and, even after it cooled down, it was still creamy unlike some quesos. When I headed home, most of it was gone despite there only being 3 of us there...

The queso doesn't have a lot of kick (nor does elote) but I might add more depending on who will be eating it. Although the recipe as written was perfect for my crew. Also, FYI: I used roasted corn from Trader  Joe's  (frozen foods section).

This quest looks amazing! I’m going to add extra jalapeño, extra spicy please!

Looks delicious! I think I'll be trying this recipe at home. :)

I made this with a block of Monterey Jack cheese and it was great! I don’t know how much it differs from the brand they used, but we liked it!

This was delicious! I needed to make it gluten-free for a cookout, so I skipped the flour and added 4 oz of cream cheese instead. It turned out great!

I made this for a little gathering for the Big Little Lies finale and everyone loved it. I made a double batch and 3 of us ate most of it. (Yea, I'll say it...that's a lot of queso per person!) 

The V&amp;V Supremo Chihuahua cheese was a little pricey &amp; I had to go to a grocery store off my beaten path--but it was soooo good. I am sure you could make it with another cheese but I'll stick with the V&amp;V if I can. I cheated and used the roasted Mexican corn at Trader Joe's (frozen food aisle). Also, the dip doesn't have much kick so I may add more jalapenos or a bit of cayenne in the future. Although the heat level was perfect as written for my crew.

Velveeta Cheese Dip is an easy gluten-free snack to prepare when hosting a big party. Check out our four favourite Mexican Queso recipes!
