Easy Queso Dip Recipe

🥄 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ½ medium onion, (minced (yellow or white))
• 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
• 1 jalapeño pepper (minced (seeds removed if you don't want it spicy))
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ½ cups milk, (divided)

2. 2

   Add in the onion, garlic, jalapeño and salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become very fragrant.

3. 3

   Add in ¾ cups of milk and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and is mostly smooth, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to low and add in the shredded cheeses in batches, stirring each batch into the mixture until it has completely melted before adding the next.

5. 5

   Stir in the remaining ¾ cups of milk until fully combined.

6. 6

   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salsa. Taste and add more if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
