Mexican Restaurant Cheese Dip 🧀

 

White American cheese is the secret to achieving that unmistakable smooth and creamy consistency. It melts beautifully and gives you that stretchy, dip-worthy quality found in restaurant-style queso.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound White American Cheese

  • 2 tablespoons of diced green chiles, chopped super fine

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 3/4 cup to 1 cup milk

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cube the cheese and place in a saucepan with green chiles, garlic powder and milk.

  2. Heat on medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the cheese has melted.

  3. Once it is all melted together, if the cheese is still too thick, you can add more milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.

  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

Notes

Storage and Reheating Tips

This cheese dip keeps surprisingly well—here’s how to store and reheat it:

  • Refrigerate: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

  • Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore its original creaminess.

  • Freeze: Technically, you can freeze it, but the texture might change. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a few days.
