Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces evaporated milk
1 Tablespoon corn starch (reduce to 3/4 TBSP for a thinner sauce)
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼-½ teaspoon garlic powder (see note)
½ teaspoon kosher salt (more or less to taste)
8 ounces pepperjack cheese (freshly shredded)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together evaporated milk, corn starch, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt until combined. Start with half the salt amount if you'd like, adding the rest to taste.
  • Bring just to a light simmer (no more - don't boil!) for 1-2 minutes while frequently stirring.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese in batches, allowing each addition to melt completely. Taste test, adding additional salt as needed. If adding diced chiles or tomatoes, you can stir them in now, or transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish as desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips.

QUEALY'S QUESO



Quealy's Queso image

Chili con queso is a standard party dip in South Texas, where the chef Quealy Watson lives and works: melted cheese with chopped green chiles, generally, to be served with chips. Watson gives the dish an Asian spin, using the Southeast Asian chile paste known as sambal oelek in place of the green chiles. The Velveeta cheese he calls for is not for everyone, but it is powerfully easy to work with - you couldn't break it if you tried. Heavy cream helps thin out the queso a little, and the chile paste gives it a fascinating fire.
