Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • stirrer

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds of American cheese
  • 10 ounces canned green chilies with juice
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 6 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 cup diced ripe tomatoes

Instructions

  • Gather all the ingredients listed in the recipe and measure them accurately before starting. This will ensure a smooth and hassle-free cooking process.
  • Begin by cubing the American cheese into small pieces for easy melting and even distribution in the dip.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onions and minced garlic until they become translucent. Be careful not to brown them, as it may alter the flavor.
  • Once the onions and garlic are cooked, add in the canned green chilies with their juice and diced ripe tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add in the cubed American cheese while constantly stirring to prevent any clumps from forming. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let all the ingredients simmer together, stirring occasionally. Once fully combined and heated through, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality American cheese for maximum flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier queso, add more green chilies and garlic to taste.
  • Avoid using skim milk as it may affect the consistency of the queso.
