Notes

  • This is just like the queso you get at your favorite Mexican restaurant – amazing on its own but PERFECT for a nacho bar!
  • I’ve used green chilis and a mild green salsa verde; both work great. If you like heat, then go for a hot salsa!
  • You can easily use milk in place of half and half, but it won’t be as thick.
  • To thicken your queso to your liking, just mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to the saucepan.
  • Feel free to add some fresh pico de gallo to the top when serving – trust me, it’s delicious.
  • If you are using sliced American cheese, just chop it up first to help it melt easier.
