White Queso Dip

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.

1.	Add American cheese, salsa verde or chilis and half and half to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until melted and smooth.
2.	Serve immediately, topped with pico de gallo if desired.

	1 pound white American cheese, cubed
	1 cup half and half
	1/4 cup salsa verde or 1 can of green chilis
