Tips and Techniques for the Best White Queso Dip
- Make sure to get the American cheese sliced fresh from the deli for the best flavor and melting.
- To spice up the recipe, replace half or all of the diced green chili peppers with diced jalapenos.
- You can swap out the heavy whipping cream for half-and-half or milk, if preferred.
- Store leftover queso dip in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until is smooth and heated through.
