White American Queso Dip

Ingredients

• 3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 lb white American cheese (cut into small pieces)
• 8 oz pepper jack cheese (cut into small pieces)
• 1 can diced green chilies (typically 4 oz)
• 1 tomato (diced; optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the white American cheese and pepper jack cheese into small pieces to ensure even melting.

2. 2

   Add the evaporated milk, cheese pieces, diced green chilies, and diced tomato (if using) into a medium pot or saucepan.

3. 3

   Place the pot over medium-low heat and simmer.

4. 4

   Stir the mixture occasionally until all of the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Notes

For the best texture, use block cheese rather than pre-shredded cheese, as pre-shredded varieties often contain anti-caking agents that can make the sauce grainy.
