This is the best queso dip! Being from Texas, I know my queso, and I think this is the one that beats them all! It's full of flavor and uses all fresh ingredients. You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy whipping cream if desired. Serve with tortilla chips.

Ingredients

  • 2 poblanos peppers , halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 2 Anaheims peppers , halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper , halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 2 pounds processed cheese food , such as Velveeta ®
  • 3 large roma , plum
  • 1 large white onion , diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.25 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven broiler. Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Place poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and jalapeño pepper cut-sides down on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook peppers under the preheated broiler until skin of peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins; dice peppers.

  4. 4

    Combine diced peppers, cheese food cubes, tomatoes, onion, butter, and cumin in a slow cooker.

  5. 5

    Cook on Low, gradually adding cream until cheese melts and dip is warmed through, about 30 minutes.
