Ingredients

1/2 pound White American deli sliced cheese
1/2 pound Pepper Jack deli sliced cheese
1 small jalapeno diced
1 can evaporated milk 12 fluid ounces
Chips optional

Instructions

Start by slicing up your deli cheese into cubes and place into a saucepan.
Add in the diced jalapeno, and then pour in the evaporated milk.
On low heat you will begin melting down the cheese, stirring often. It is important to heat low and slow or it will burn.
Once the cheese dip is melted, you can cook it for a few extra minutes, and this will thicken the sauce up, if you want it thicker.
If you find you want the Queso Blanco dip thinner, you can add extra evaporated milk in. Just open a second can of milk and pour it in.

Crockpot Queso Blanco

Add all the ingredients into a slow cooker.
Set on low and place lid on the white cheese dip. Let it cook for 1 hour.
Open lid, stir with a whisk, and place the lid back on and cook for another hour or until the dip is nice and melted. Mine took around an hour and a half to melt fully.
Same with this, you can add extra evaporated milk to thin the dip if you find you don't like the thickness.

Notes

Double Recipe - Feel free to double or even triple the recipe. Just use a large enough pan to melt down all the cheese and milk.

Jalapeno - I removed the seeds and white membrane to make this Queso Blanco mild. But if you want it spicy leave in all or some of the seeds.

Storing - Store leftover white Blanco cheese in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. Then eat cold or warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop.
