White Queso Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE WHITE QUESO DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine pepper jack cheese, white American cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel in a medium saucepan over low heat. Heat until cheese melts completely, stirring often. To thin out queso, begin by adding 1/4 cup milk and stir. If queso is not to desired consistency, continuing adding milk. Serve immediately.

WHITE QUESO (USING MONTEREY JACK CHEESE)

Steps:

• Heat butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; whisk flour into melted butter until smooth. Slowly pour milk into flour mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in onion powder and garlic powder; simmer for 2 minutes. Add Monterey Jack cheese while stirring constantly until melted, about 5 more minutes.

QUESO CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
• Whisk in milk gradually until incorporated.
• Gradually stir in cheese until melted.
• Season with cumin, salt and pepper to taste.

WHITE QUESO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, saute the diced onions and fresh chilies over medium heat in the butter until onions are soft and transparent.
• Add flour and stir/scrape the bottom to prevent sticking. Cook for several minutes to remove the raw flour taste from the roux.
• Whisk in the heated half and half until the sauce has thickened (will coat the back of a spoon).
• Add the dried cumin, Mexican oregano and drained green chilies and stir to combine.
• Add the cheese and stir over medium heat until the cheese has fully melted. Don't use your whisk or the cheese will create a gooey mess in the whisk wires. I use as much Monterey jack cheese as necessary to bring the Queso to the desired consistency.
• Once the cheese has melted, add the cilantro, corn, jalepenos and lime juice, if desired. These ingredients are not mandatory but add a great deal of depth to the Queso.
• We like to serve this over tortilla chips with thinly-sliced marinated flank steak or chicken breast and diced tomatoes.

WHITE QUESO DIP

Steps:

• In a double boiler on low heat (enough to keep a gentle boil), add the cheese and some of the half and half.
• Stir mixture until cheese begins to evenly melt, adding half and half to result in the consistency you desire. (It should be thin enough to flow well, but thick enough to stay on a chip).
• Add diced jalapenos to mixture, according to your preference. If they are from a jar, add a teaspoon or two of the juice as well.
• Begin to add the spices. Start with the cumin and black pepper. Add red pepper gradually, tasting along the way. A little goes a long way, so be sure you don't make it too hot. I use a bit more than 1/4 tsp, you may use more or less.
• Add a pinch of chili powder, and serve hot with tortillas or chips.
• Leftovers can be microwaved (add more half and half or water to keep consistency). Don't worry about yellowing from day to day (due to spices/cheese), it will be good for 4-5 days.
