A Cheesy Snack Fit for a Crowd

Prep Like a Pro
To make things easier, grate your cheese using a food processor and prep your onions and cheese up to 2 days in advance. Simply store them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the dip.
The Perfect Blend
Our recipe combines the creaminess of Monterey Jack cheese with the sharpness of extra-sharp cheddar. The result is a smooth, velvety dip that’s perfect for snacking.
Get Cooking!
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, 1 1/2 cups of grated Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Toss to coat, then transfer the mixture to a large saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of whole milk and set over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and melted, about 10-15 minutes.
Add Some Flavor
Stir in 1 cup of minced white onion and 1 (4-ounce) can of diced mild green chiles, including the reserved juices. This adds a depth of flavor and a touch of spice to the queso.
Serve and Enjoy!
Transfer the dip to a slow cooker set on low or keep it in the saucepan at a simmer for up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with tortilla chips, cut-up raw veggies, and your favorite snacks.
Beverage Pairing
For the perfect pairing, try Radeberger Pilsner, a German-style pilsner that complements the sharpness of the cheese. Its crisp, refreshing taste will have you coming back for more.
