Queso dip is one of those amazingly versatile types of dips. You can eat many snack foods with it. When you’ve got a craving for a creamy, delicious dip to have at almost any time of the day or night, turn to queso.
Ingredients for Queso
Queso consists of a few ingredients that make this into a staple dip for your party or simple snacking needs. It must have a good melting cheese, half-and-half so that it is creamy, and you can include garlic, chili peppers, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro if you’d like.
Can Be Made in Two Major Ways
Queso can be made in a slow cooker. If you’re not too impatient and have the means to sit nearby while you cook it, this is an ideal way. Another great method to make queso is to put it on the stovetop over a double broiler.
A Timeless Tradition
The first recipe that’s known for queso is from 1896. This recipe is said to have been published in a Mexican food story in the California-based magazine The Land of Sunshine. Fondue, which comes from Europe, was rising in popularity at around the same time. It’s no wonder that such an amazing Mexican-European inspired dip was created and refined over the next several decades.
