When game day season approaches, the slow cooker is on the counter all season! Making chili, wings, and of course, queso in the crock pot is a game day tradition. And this crock pot queso Blanco dip is one of our favorites!

Queso Blanco is a type of cheese made from cow's milk. It is a white, mild-flavored cheese that originated in Spain and Portugal. Queso Blanco is popular in Latin American cuisine and is often used as a dipping sauce or melted over foods.

This slow cooker cheese dip is a twist on the classic cheese that uses cubed white American cheese and pepper jack cheese to create its cheesy flavor. Add in milk for creaminess and some green chilis for a hit of spice, and you have a flavorful dip that pairs well with any dipping vehicle.

Simply add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and let it melt into deliciousness!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • White American Cheese - This unique cheese adds creaminess and body to the queso.
  • Pepper Jack Cheese - We use pepper jack cheese in this queso Blanco recipe for a little heat.

How To Make White Queso Dip In The Crock Pot

Prepare the cheese: Cut your cheese into cubes if it's not cut already and add it to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Assemble ingredients: Drain the canned chilies and add them on top of the cheese along with the dried seasonings and evaporated milk.

Cover and cook: Add the lid to the top of the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours. Once the cheese is melted, stir to combine.

Warm and serve: Once the cheese dip is fully mixed and melted, turn the crock pot to WARM. Garnish with cilantro and serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • This recipe uses a mini 2-3 quart slow cooker. You can find them online or in most stores near the crock pots. If you don't have a mini crock pot, you can use a larger one, but keep an eye on it so the cheese doesn't burn.
  • If you can't find cubed cheese or full blocks of cheese, you can use sliced white American cheese and sliced pepper jack instead. Keep in mind that this may cook faster.
  • For a crock pot queso that is extra smooth, you can use an immersion blender to blend it before serving.
  • This recipe calls for evaporated milk, but you can also use whole milk or half and half if you prefer.
  • For a thicker queso dip, use less milk. For thinner queso, use more.
  • This crock pot queso Blanco is best enjoyed immediately.

Variations

  • Turn up the heat by adding more diced green chilies or jalapeños to the recipe.
  • Make it a crock pot queso fundido by adding in cooked crumbled sausage, ground beef, or shredded chicken.
  • Stir in a can of black beans, corn, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • Top with cilantro, diced avocado, or sour cream when serving.
  • Use different types of cheese, including cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby for a different flavor.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: If you have leftovers, turn the crock pot off to cool slightly. Pour into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week.

Freezing: This crock pot queso blanco does not freeze well. The texture changes, and it can become grainy.

Reheating: To reheat, add the queso to the crock pot on LOW until melted and warm. You can also reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring often.
