Easy Homemade Queso Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin

Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter, whisking to combine into a smooth paste. Continue to cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly.
3. Combine Milk: Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, whisking continuously. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5 minutes.
4. Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the grated cheeses until completely melted.
5. Add Flavorings: Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, salt, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well until everything is hot and well blended.
6. Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or over your favorite nachos.
