Description

Rich, creamy, with bits of spice and tang from jalapeno peppers--this white queso dip is restaurant quality but you'll get 3 to 4 times the amount for the same price.

Ingredients

1 pound white American cheese, cubed
3/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup diced pickled jalapeno peppers
1 teaspoon pickled jalapeno pepper juice
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1 Combine American cheese and half-and-half in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power in 1 1/2 minute intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
2 Stir in jalapeños, jalapeño juice, cumin, and cayenne. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and serve immediately.
