Print Recipe

This smooth, cheesy queso dip comes together in just 10 minutes with only five simple ingredients. It stays dippable for hours, making it the perfect crowd-pleaser for game day or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb block of white American cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained (reserve about 2 tablespoons liquid)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. Cube the white American cheese into roughly 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Open the evaporated milk and Rotel. Drain about half the liquid from the Rotel, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the can.
  3. Pour the evaporated milk into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low until warm (about 2 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the cubed cheese to the warm milk one handful at a time, stirring constantly in a figure-eight pattern. Add about a third of the cheese, stir until mostly melted, then repeat with remaining cheese.
  5. Once all cheese is melted and smooth, sprinkle in the garlic powder and cumin. Stir for about 30 seconds until well combined.
  6. Pour in the drained Rotel and stir gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired (add a pinch of cayenne for heat or salt if needed).
  8. Serve immediately or transfer to a small slow cooker set to warm to keep the queso dippable.

Notes

For best results, use block white American cheese (not pre-shredded) and keep heat on medium-low to prevent graininess. If queso thickens as it sits, stir in a splash of evaporated milk to thin. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and reheated gently with a splash of milk. For a microwave version, combine cubed cheese and evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl, heat in 30-second intervals stirring between each, then stir in seasonings and Rotel.
