What makes our Street Corn Queso truly special? We start with the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Velveeta Queso Blanco, creating an effortlessly creamy base. To that, we add sweet yellow corn, a generous kick from pepper jack cheese, and the unique, tangy depth of Hatch Chile Salsa Verde.

The hint of smoky flavor makes this a standout BBQ dip that will set your spread apart.
Tips for the Perfect Smoked Queso
