A smooth, cheesy, and creamy queso blanco dip made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for easy entertaining and crowd-pleasing game nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz white American cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies, mild or hot
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Shred the white American and Monterey Jack cheeses using a grater. Cube the Velveeta cheese into small pieces (about 1-inch cubes).
  2. Place the shredded cheeses, Velveeta cubes, and diced green chilies into the slow cooker. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of whole milk.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt over the mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Set the slow cooker on low heat and cover. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to prevent sticking and help the cheeses melt smoothly.
  5. If desired, stir in the finely chopped jalapeño about 30 minutes before serving for a gentle kick.
  6. Check the consistency; if too thick, stir in a little more milk (a tablespoon at a time) until desired creaminess is reached. If too thin, leave uncovered for 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep warm in the slow cooker’s warming mode.

Notes

Use good quality white American cheese and Velveeta for best melting results. Stir regularly to prevent sticking and burning. Adjust milk to achieve desired dip consistency. The warming setting on the slow cooker keeps the dip perfect for hours. For a dairy-free version, substitute with vegan cheeses and plant-based milk.
