Okay... so I've made Queso Dip before and from what I remember- it's pretty simple. You just need Cheese and Salsa... but trust me... it can go wrong!
So my desire to make queso came from the fact that I'm going to my friends house tomorrow and we were going to order a lot of takeout... but we then decided to go out for tacos instead- and than that shifted to a Build Your Own Taco Bar at my friends apartment... so that's cool and that's why I was like "Oh I want to make some queso for that!" And I attempted.
So I think you're supposed to use cubed cheese... I have some shredded Mexican Cheese from Craft that I thought would work... so I just put that in the oven with some Taco Sauce. I was out of salsa... so I just used the taco sauce. I didn't measure anything- I just kind of put these together and microwaved it for 30 Seconds.
And... it sort of worked but not really the consistency of Queso. The cheese didn't melt down that much... so this would have tasted good on top of chips as a nacho... but it just didn't really work as queso. It tasted good though.
I was still determined and I figured I just needed a little bit more of the taco sauce... and maybe it would melt better if I used some Velveeta... so I put 2 slices of Velveeta in there also.
And that was gross. It wasn't terrible... I got the consistency was a little more like queso dip... but the velveeta made it a little too cheesy and... it just didn't taste right. It was a little odd.
So I'd say follow an actual recipe... maybe use cubed cheese instead of just whatever you have... don't add too much cheese- try to balance it out with salsa or taco sauce... but salsa is probably a better choice... and yeah. Don't just be like "Hey I'll wing it- this will be great." Because it won't!
I hope you like this post and I hope you want to hear a little more about food and stuff!
Bye!
