How to make White American Queso Dip Crock Pot Recipe:
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 1/2 inch cubes or pieces. Then in your 1.5 quart crock pot , add the chopped White American Cheese cut into 1/2 inch pieces. I find my White American cheese in the deli section at my grocery store.
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.
*Note, you can use 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 3/4 tsp salt instead of garlic salt.
Next stir the mixture then cover and cook on low until melted – stirring occasionally.
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.
Let’s it! See, I told you it would be easy and if I can do, I know you can too. It doesn’t take much work to prepare this recipe and everyone will be impressed with this best crock pot queso at your next party or family get together.
Can meat be added to this queso blanco recipe?
Yes, definitely! 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.
What do you serve with crock pot Queso no Velveeta recipe?
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.
Also, think outside of the box for this recipe. This white cheese dip can be used to be served with nachos, burritos or tacos.
This crock pot cheese dip is irresistible, you’ll want to serve it with everything!

I just made this recipe this evening and it’s lumpy . Just wondering if you can give me any advice on this . But it tastes wonderful!
Theresa Szeman says
What is white cheese ?? I asked people that work in dairy department and they didn’t know ,thanks
Gramma says
If you live in an area where Latin foods are available, asadero is the white Mexican cheese that’s usually used in queso in US restaurants. I haven’t checked the price, but if it’s comparable to white American cheese, definitely use it!
Laura says
So easy and delicious made it three times already
Meghan says
How long does the cheese have to melt? Does it have to be like watery ?
Teresa Lango says
Carrie, Quick question…if I cannot locate White American Cheese or Asadero Cheese (that restaurants use), can I substitute Monterey Jack? Also someone commented above that their dip was lumpy…is that when you add a bit more milk to thin it out or was it because it wasn’t fully melted? Thanks
Pam says
Can you use white American cheese slices?
Carrie says
Yes, I think that would work great in this recipe as well. Thanks!
Jana says
Do you drain the chilies first? Or put the whole can in. I know there isn’t tons of liquid in the can, but wanted to check. And will it be done after 4 hours on low?
Carrie says
I do not drain the chilies before adding them and yes, 4 hours on low will be plenty of time. Thank you!
Aubrie says
The recipe says you use the 1.5 qt slow cooker but you recommended using a 3 qt if you’re making for a party, I would assume you just double your recipe for the 3 qt?
Carrie says
Yes Aubrie, I would double the recipe if you are using the larger crock pot. Thank you!
Karen Clements says
Is this recipe very spicy hot? It looks & sounds delicious, but I don’t like it spicy hot. I always get mild.
info says
Authentic huh. White American cheese, not even using Mexican cheese. Out of curiosity what is white american cheese, because american cheese is processed.
hgf says
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.
Steve says
Could I sub the milk out for beer to make this into a beer cheese dip?
