INGREDIENTS:
12 ounces evaporated milk (1 can)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 lb white american cheese buy it sliced at the deli counter at your grocery store. Then chop into small squares, finely chopped
4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
2 tablespoons canned jalapenos chopped, or chopped green chiles
1 teaspoon chili powder you could also use cumin if you prefer that taste

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
chopped cilantro tomatoes, and jalapenos for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
00:00:07 - How to make queso dip
1️⃣00:00:33 - Chop quality cheese from the deli counter into cubed slices. We used White American cheese.
00:00:42 - Why did my cheese dip separate? How do I keep my queso from separating?
2️⃣00:00:44 - Heat evaporated milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Evaporated milk has less moisture so it's less likely to separate when cooked. Bring to almost a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
3️⃣00:01:14 - Add your sliced American cheese and shredded mozzarella to the sauce pan and stir to melt. Add in batches and stir until combined and smooth before adding more.
4️⃣00:01:52 - Check your cheese dip for desired consistency. If you'd like it thicker, add cornstarch or more cheese. If you'd like it thinner, add more evaporated milk.
5️⃣00:02:04 - Stir in spiced and diced jalapenos to taste.
6️⃣00:02:30 - Serve as is, or pour into an oven safe dish and broil for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and browned on top.
7️⃣ 00:02:45 - Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips. Alternately you can pour onto nachos, fajitas, tacos, or anything you love smothered with cheese dip. Enjoy!

Great video and recipe. Love that you totally explained each step and also gave helpful hints! Can't wait to try!

I definitely had to go to the specialty cheese deli to find White American cheese…They don’t have it around other shredded cheeses…That helped me a lot… I went to the bakery and got fresh store made chips and heated the chips in an oven for a little while…this makes it soo much better
-
Thank you very much for the useful tips!
-

Very delicious. It's the perfect queso
-
I know this is an old post but when do you add the cornstarch, and do you need it?
-

-

-
Queso Blanco... my favorite cheese dip! Take care.
-
I like the idea of using evaporated milk with cheese. Great Video!
-
So this recipe looks perfect - I’ve tried many other recipes- actually trying to find a great cheese sauce to top tater tots with and all the ones I’ve tried have not separated- but been very grainy. I’m thinking maybe bc they are made with cheddar not American cheese. Can’t wait to try this one!!
-
Deli counter cheese!! Is it cheddar, Monterey Jack, American cheese, provolone,Guda??
-
How long can you store in frig?
-
The separation happens if you use already grated cheese and to double sure in not separating us to go very low when mixing your cheeses.
-
1:50 also American Cheese has emulsifiers in it like sodium citrate already which is the other key to non-separation. If you can’t find it readily — I googled how to make it it’s simply: baking soda & citric acid
-
Thanks so much for the evaporated milk tip, I’ve been struggling with my white cheese sauces and I think it’s because of the heavy whipping cream so I’ll definitely try this and hopefully I won’t have that separation problem anymore 💕
-
At Taco Bell and even at home when I make it I buy the nacho cheese already made and it’s the orange style. I went to Chipotle and tried their white or Queso Blanco and it was so good so I searched YouTube for a recipe and found yours. Yours looks great. I’m making it today.
