Ingredients

  • 1 lb pepperjack cheese
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 10 oz can original Rotel tomatoes & green chilies drained
  • ¾ cup whole milk if needed
  • *optional*
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon 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 over LOW heat, combine the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel.
  • Let the mixture heat until the cheeses melt and a smooth cream forms, stirring often. This should take 15-20 minutes. Add the spices if desired. Add milk if needed.
  • Once melted, serve immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker with a "warm" setting to keep dip warm and melted. Enjoy!
