Ingredients:
- Crock Pot (I like to use the 1.5 quart crock pot )
- White American Cheese – chopped up
- Diced Green Chiles, 4.5 oz
- Chili Powder
- Cumin
- Garlic Salt
- Milk
How to make crock pot white cheese dip:
You are not going to believe how easy this recipe is to make. Thanks to the crock pot, you really just need to throw all the ingredients in and the slow cooker does all the hard work!
First tear or cut your cheese into ½ inch cubes or pieces. Then in your 1.5 quart crock pot , add the chopped White American Cheese cut into ½ inch pieces.
Tip: I find my White American cheese in the deli section at my grocery store. You will ask them to slice it, just like you would if you wanted them to slice fresh turkey or ham.
I have used Monterey jack cheese before when I couldn’t find the white American at my local grocery store but I do prefer the white American cheese so definitely get that if they have it available.
Then add green chilies, milk, and seasonings.
Tip: You can use ¼ tsp garlic powder and ¾ tsp salt instead of garlic salt.
Finally, stir the mixture then cover and cook on low until melted – stirring occasionally until the cheese is completely melted.
Tip: Generally, I monitor the consistency of the dip recipe. If it’s not as creamy as you would like, then add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time to the crock pot until the dip is the consistency that you prefer.
When the cheese is melted and heated through, it is ready to serve.

Variation ideas
- You can use salsa or a can of rotel instead of the green chilies.
- Meat would be a great addition to this white cheese dip. I would use either ground beef or sausage and brown the meat choice and drain it prior to adding it to the crock pot with the other ingredients.
- Cream cheese can be added with the cheese for a different flavor. I would use about ½ a block and adjust the milk as needed to get the right consistency.
What to serve with crock pot white cheese dip?
Generally, I serve this dip recipe with tortilla chips. However, this recipe can also be served with veggie strips or your favorite type of tortillas.

Authentic huh. White American cheese, not even using Mexican cheese. Out of curiosity what is white american cheese, because american cheese is processed.
It’s truly very complicated in this full of activity life to listen news on Television, therefore I only use internet for that reason, and get the most recent
information.
Could I sub the milk out for beer to make this into a beer cheese dip?
This is very good! I make it on weekends when my kids all come over to visit and hang out. Sometimes I add hamburger and sausage, it’s the best yet! And always make extra to send some home with the kiddos.
I need to try this recipe! Love me some queso!
One of the restaurants in my town has a “mix dip” which is white cheese dip, ground beef, and some pico de gallo. It is so delicious. I’m gonna try to make it using this cheese dip. I can’t wait!!!
Oh that sounds amazing! Let us know how it turns out – thank you!
Does it matter what kind of milk? I usually have skim on hand.
Skim will work great in this recipe.
I was thrilled to have found his recipe a few years ago. Finally a queso dip that tasted like the one I love from our local Mexican restaurant…delicious! People love it! I usually double the recipe (or triple!) and occasionally I will substitute a little of the milk for some beer (Mexican beer preferred) and a couple squeezes of lime. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Thank you – I’m so glad you enjoy it!
It was an absolute hit! Thanks for an EASY (like painfully easy), delicious appetizer
We liked the dip. It has so much flavor and the taste of it wasn’t too spicy or too mild it was just right, I was wondering if there is any way to thicken it up a bit besides just letting sit and having it cool down, that’s not what we want, we like it warm.
This is such an easy, hands off recipe. I did leave out the cumin, for personal preferences. That said, I would love to use this recipe as a base as I think it has good bones. Maybe add some other seasoning or some meat.
Fantastic! We made a huge crock pot for a grad party and everyone loved it!
