Introduction to Queso Dip
When I show up to an event or party and see queso dip on the table I get filled with an unexplainable joy. All I crave to do is spoon it into my mouth, however, that isn’t the most appropriate thing to do at someone else’s home. I created this easy queso recipe so I can do all the spooning I want in the comfort of my own home!
What IS The Best Cheese For Queso
This wasn’t my first attempt at making this quest dip. I originally tried it with cheeses that don’t melt down and meld together well. So, as you can imagine it was a chunky, separated, but still cheese mess. I did some research the second time and found that most people use velvetta, but velvetta is higher in carbs than I’d like. This led me to cheddar. Cheddar is reliable, melts well and tastes delicious! I also recalled that Monterey jack has a subtle flavor and is also highly used in dips! Some other great options for melty cheese are fontina, parmesan, american and good old cream cheese. If you’re making nachos check this list out!
All The Best Dip Recipes Have Cheese
Whether you’re using a chip or a spoon to shovel delicious dip in your mouth I think we can all agree that all the best dips have cheese in them. For example, this queso dip. We also have a buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip and pizza dip to satisfy your cheesy dip cravings! If you don’t agree try making any of the above mentioned and I’ll make a believer out of you. Cheese can be strong or subtle in flavor, adds a smooth texture unlike any other, and pleases most if not all people in the room.
