Notes
- Use whole milk for creamier texture; reduced-fat milk may cause the dip to be less smooth.
- Seed the jalapeño if you prefer less heat, or leave seeds in for extra spiciness.
- Pico de gallo can be homemade or store-bought to save time.
- Stir frequently during cooking to prevent cheese from sticking and burning at the bottom.
- You can keep leftover queso dip warm in a slow cooker on low heat.
