You know what my favorite thing in the whole world is? Cheese. By far. So it’s no surprise that queso is my favorite dip to make at home.
I could put cheese on almost anything, and totally would if it wasn’t so dang unhealthy. Although, that doesn’t mean I can’t indulge every once in a while. 🙂
We’ve made a lot of different variations of queso – in fact, we have one right here that you can check out. It’s even easier than this one and only has a couple of ingredients. That recipe is from our early blogging and early queso making days, so we decided to give it another shot.
This queso is packed with flavor and if Sean let me, I’d eat it with a spoon.
Okay, not really. But still. It’s that good.
The jalapeno gives it an extra kick of flavor that the last recipe was lacking. If you don’t want a whole lot of spice, be sure to take out the seeds. Let’s get started!
