Queso with Cabot Cheddar
Is there anything more delicious than a velvety cheese dip to enjoy on Super Bowl Sunday? The flavors of this Queso Dip are perfect paired! Garlic, onion, tomatoes, cumin and jalapeños do a perfect dance inside this rich cheesy sauce.
Queso is a Tex-Mex dip enjoyed by millions. This recipe uses evaporated milk, which helps prevent the cheese from clumping. This recipe can be made in the crock pot as well, which makes it a great way to keep warm throughout the game day.
For this recipe, I highly recommend shredding your own cheese. I used the grate attachment on my food processor to make it easier. I used a blend of Cabot Medium Cheddar and Seriously Sharp Cheddar. I would also recommend the Cabot Habanero for this for an extra kick 🙂
This recipe is mild in heat, if you like more heat, add more jalapeño and serano chiles 🙂
