You are going to love this homemade queso dip! Mike and I both love to eat “chips and cheese” as we call it, but I always feel like the stuff that you buy ready-made from the store is a little too full of processed ingredients for me to truly enjoy it. That’s where this homemade version comes in! This queso dip is chock full of real cheese and freshly chopped peppers and onions. It’s easily customizable and, of course, is completely delicious. I used a mixture of sharp cheddar and monterrey cheese, and the outcome was full of flavor. We don’t like a ton of spice, so I only used one jalapeno, but feel free to adjust and add in one or two extra if you like a little more heat. This is a great base recipe to serve with chips, or as a topping for Mexican dishes, but it would also be delicious with any number of add-ins. I would love to try stirring in a handful of cilantro, some fresh salsa, or even some cooked ground beef or sausage. No matter how you serve it, this homemade queso dip is sure to be a hit. Enjoy! 🙂

*You may not want to use all the cheese. Taste as you go, and stop adding cheese when the taste and texture is what you want.
