Restaurant Queso

Almost as good as the best queso I've found at any Mexican restaurant.

This recipe will create what I would describe as a medium spicy queso, which to me is just right. Not including the jalapeño seeds will result in basically no heat whatsoever. If you want just a mild spice, use 2/3 of the jalapeño and seeds instructed below.

Ingredients

  • Pepper Jack Cheese   (½ lb)
  • American Cheese   (½ lb)
  • Evaporated Milk   (12 fl oz)
  • Jalapeño, diced with the seeds   (1 pepper)

Instructions

  1. Chop Jalapeño into small pieces. You may want to wear a glove to prevent getting pepper oils on your skin.

  2. Cut cheese into small cubes. This will help it melt faster.

  3. Combine everything in a slow cooker. Using a liner might make cleanup easier.

  4. Slow cook for 3-4 hours
