QUESO
If you’ve
never experienced the bliss of a fresh queso dip before—now is your chance! In
its most basic form, queso dip is merely a sauce that incorporates melted
cheese. In its most glorious form, such as in this amazing recipe for Chili’s
Queso from
Le Crème de la Crumb, it is lifted up by fabulous spices and warm,
silky cheese to make for one of the best dipping sauces you’ve ever tasted!
This recipe calls for velveeta cheese, but if you don’t have access to that, a
nice mild cheddar would work nicely – just be sure to add a few extra
tablespoons of milk.
