What Kind of Cheese Should I Use for Queso?
This creamy white queso dip is made with a mild white Velveeta queso Blanco cheese for easy melting and a fuss free appetizer. Check your local grocery store for the Velveeta two-pound white American cheese blocks.
You can add a white American cheese when making this easy queso dip recipe, but I recommend a white Velveeta brand. Add any extra shredded cheese such as pepper jack or Monterey Jack for an extra bit of flavor to your Mexican cheese dip. Just make sure to add a real quality cheese.
How to Make Queso Dip from Scratch
This scratch queso dip version is prepared on top of a Blackstone griddle but can be easily made in several different ways. Blackstone Products has a wide variety of griddle sizes for you to choose. The trick with this cheese dip recipe is to combine all the ingredients and let everything slowly melt together.
Do not heat too quickly or at too high of a temperature or else you will burn the mixture. Make white queso dip with green chiles or substitute with one half can of Rotel diced tomato and green chiles.

Cut the Velveeta cheese into small pieces using a sharp knife.
Blackstone Griddle White Queso Dip
Preheat the Blackstone Griddle on medium heat. Place all ingredients of the creamy white queso dip recipe into a medium sized metal bowl or an all-metal saucepan.
Set the metal bowl or saucepan with the queso ingredients on to the preheated flat top griddle. With a silicone spatula, gently stir all ingredients every couple of minutes to combine.
Once the cheese is smooth and creamy, pour into your favorite serving dish such as a cast iron pan along with your favorite tortilla chips.
Slow Cooker Queso Dip
Place the diced white Velveeta Queso Blanco cheese along with the milk, taco seasoning, diced green chilies, and the butter into the slow cooker or crock pot. Turn on low heat and let the cheese start to melt.
With a silicone spatula, stir to combine all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Continue to heat up and stir periodically to make a smooth cheese dip.
Make sure to scrape the sides of the cooker to prevent burning. Melting time will vary depending on the slow cooker or crockpot.
Once all the cheese is melted turn to the warming or the lowest temperature setting possible.

Thank you Lisa! Great idea about using this griddle queso dip with veggies. I will have to serve vegetables with my white queso dip next time that I make it.
I had friends visiting so I made this white queso dip – OMG, it was an instant hit! They absolutely LOVED it (so did I). Thanks for the tip of melting it slowly, I think I would have been so keen to eat it that I would have ended up burning it. I love your recipes and it’s so exciting to see new ones on your website!
Thank you, Mandy, for your kind words. This Blackstone White Queso Dip is great for Super Bowl Parties and tailgating as well.
