Classic Cheese Dip
Hot, melty cheese dip is that irresistible item we can’t seem to get enough of on game day. You can certainly keep this MVP warm in a slow cooker during the festivities but it can also be prepared in one leaving you with extra hang time to tackle other recipe & party prep. Chunky Queso Dip features fresh onion, garlic, jalapenos & cilantro which add depth to this fan-favorite dip. Be certain it’s on your tailgating spread option & watch how quickly it scores big with football fanatics.
Game Day Queso Dip
makes 8 servings
The Basic Fundamentals
Substitute chipotle peppers for the jalapeño for a smoky hot variation.
1 lb deli-sliced white American cheese slices
2 {10-oz} cans diced tomatoes & green chiles
1/2 small sweet onion, diced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
Tortilla chips
Stack the cheese slices & cut into quarters. Pour the tomatoes into the crock of a 3-quart slow cooker. Add the cheese, the onion, the jalapeno & the garlic. Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook for 2 hours on Low. Stir the queso & return the lid. Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Stir in the cilantro & turn to the warm setting. Serve with tortilla chips.
The Extra Point
Queso dip is tasty with a variety foods. Don’t stop with just tortilla chips, serve this crowd-pleasing recipe with crispy tater tots, French fries, loaded nachos & Philly cheesesteak-style sandwiches.

How To Zest Fresh Citrus
A little lime zest is a wonderful way to add fresh notes to dips.
Pep up a variety of your favorite foods with this easy technique.
The Technique
Hold the microplane grater over a cutting board, allowing the tip to rest over the surface at an angle. Swipe just the outer portion of the citrus over the tool towards the board. Turn the fruit after each swipe. You only want to collect zest with color & not the white, bitter pith just underneath the surface. Repeat the process until you have collected the amount you’d like to add to the recipe.
