Ingredients
- 1 lb pepperjack cheese
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 10 oz can original Rotel tomatoes & green chilies (drained)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (if needed)
- *optional*
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- *NOTE: I have gotten mixed feedback about using low-fat substitutions so use full-fat dairy for best results!*
- *NOTE 2: For a smoother queso (try using half white American cheese and half pepperjack!*)
Instructions
- In a medium pot on LOW heat, mix the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel together.
- Stir often as it heats, allowing the cheeses to melt into a smooth dip. This takes about 15-20 minutes. Add spices or milk if you like.
- Serve right away, or keep it warm in a slow cooker set to 'warm.' Enjoy your dip!
