Restaurant Style Queso Blanco Dip

    Have you ever been to a Mexican restaurant and ordered the white cheese dip and wondered how they made it and you have tried a number of times to get it right and never can? Well, here is my version of it and I will tell you this, it is identical to the same thing in the restaurant. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. White American Cheese (Deli-Boars Head)
• 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk
• 1/4 cup water (give or take)
• 1 4 oz. can diced green chiles.
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
• 1 teaspoon jalapeno juice (optional)    

 Instructions:

Dice the cheese in 1 inch cubes. Place cubed cheese in a microwave safe bowl. Add all the other ingredients and mix. Place in the microwave 1 minute at a time for 5 minutes stirring every minute. It will seem watery and clumpy until after that last minute. After 5 complete minutes stir real good getting the remainder clumps out. pour in a glad or Ziploc container (see photo) and let stand for 20-30 minutes with or without lid. The longer it sits the smoother and silkier it gets. PERFECT!!!
