I love this homemade queso made with cheese, milk, chiles, and pickled jalapeños. For the smoothest queso, use some American cheese. Or skip the American cheese and swirl in a bit of cream cheese instead. Read why in the article above. If you don’t like the idea of cream cheese or American cheese in your queso, you can still make queso dip! Use any melty cheese, but remember that the dip won’t be as smooth and is best eaten immediately.
