Description
This quick and easy green chile queso is my favorite! It takes just minutes to prepare and is a fan favorite!
Ingredients
Scale
1 16oz package of Velveeta Original Melting Cheese
1/2 cup whole milk, plus more if needed to thin sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 14oz can diced green chiles or hatch chiles, minus 1 tablespoon for garnish
green onion and/or cilantro for additional garnish
tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Dice the Velvetta into large chunks. Add to a medium sized pot heated on medium heat and stir until melted, about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the cheese has melted, stir in milk, cayenne pepper, and chiles and let heat through for about 4-5 minutes. Add more milk as need until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Serve in a warm bowl.
Notes
- Store any extra queso in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, reheating as needed.
- Queso hardens quickly so I like to serve it in smaller portions, keeping the rest of the queso on the stove to stay warm.
- You can also easily cook this in the crock pot. Just add all of the ingredients to your crock-pot and heat on high for about 2 hours then leave on the warm setting for serving.
- This recipe is big, so cut in half of you aren’t feedback a big crowd.
- If you can find Velveeta Blanco, I highly recommend trying this instead of regular Velveeta for a white queso.
