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

  1. Dice the Velvetta into large chunks. Add to a medium sized pot heated on medium heat and stir until melted, about 4-5 minutes. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
