Mexican Dip Copycat From Philadelphia Cream Cheese Recipes

QUESO DIP (MEXICAN CHEESE DIP)

Steps:

• Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
• Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
• Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
• Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
• Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
• Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
• Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
• Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
• Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

EASY MEXICAN DIP WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spread the cream cheese out to cover the bottom of a baking pan. 9 by 5 inches and 2 to 3 inches deep or thereabouts works well.
• Scoop the salsa onto the cream cheese layer and spread even across the cream cheese to cover it.
• Sprinkle the cheese around the pan to cover the salsa.
• Place the baking pan in the oven. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
• Remove dip from oven and serve along with tortilla chips. We typically have it served right from the pan. Enjoy!

MEXICAN CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• COMBINE first 4 ingredients in medium microwaveable bowl.
• MICROWAVE on HIGH 4 minute or until VELVEETA and cream cheese are melted and mixture is well blended, stirring every 2 minute.
• STIR in tomatoes. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
• My Note:.
• VARIATION: Prepare using 2% Milk VELVEETA and PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese.
• SPECIAL EXTRA: Stir 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and 1/2 teaspoons ground red pepper (cayenne) into VELVEETA mixture before microwaving as directed.
• SERVING SUGGESTION: To serve with warm tortilla chips, place chips in slow cooker set on LOW. Not only will this heat the chips, but the smell of the warm chips will make you and your guests think you are dining at your favorite Mexican restaurant.
