Ingredients You'll Need
1 lb pepperjack cheese
8 oz full-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
1 10 oz can original rotel tomatoes & green chiles, drained
3/4 cup whole milk (if needed)
*optional*
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
*NOTE: I have gotten mixed feedback about using low-fat substitutions so use full-fat dairy for best results!*
*NOTE 2: For a smoother queso, try using half white American cheese and half pepperjack!*
Directions
1. In a medium pot over LOW heat, combine the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and Rotel.
2. Let the mixture heat until the cheeses melt and a smooth cream forms, stirring often. This should take 15-20 minutes. Add the spices if desired. Add milk if needed.
3. Once melted, serve immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker with a "warm" setting to keep dip warm and melted. Enjoy!
