Instructions

To a medium saucepan, add American cheese, Mozzarella cheese, milk, and butter. Turn the heat to low and stir frequently until the cheese is melted.
Add green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and whisk until evenly combined.
Top with jalapeños, diced green chili, cilantro, tomatoes as desired. Serve with Tostito scoops, corn chips, of Fritos.

Notes

Heat: Keep the heat on low so as not to burn the cheese. As the Queso sits and cools, it will thicken up considerably.
Keep Stirring! Stir frequently so the cheese doesn’t burn.
Reheating: You can reheat it in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it remelts and thin as needed with extra milk.
Cast Iron: This looks great served in a cast iron skillet. This recipe fits in an 8-inch skillet.
Make It A Sauce: You can thin out this recipe and turn it into a Nacho cheese sauce. Thin so it’s pourable. Remember it thickens as it cools. Pour tortilla chips, roasted broccoli, or air fryer potato wedges!
