Queso Blanco To Celebrate

I don’t know much about the origin of St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo but I love celebrating both holidays. Both holidays have two very important things in common; good food and good drinks. St. Patrick’s Day is filled food like Reuben Loaded Potatoes Recipe, Guinness Cheese Dip, or Bailey’s Salted Caramel Brownies and drinks like this Bubbly Irish or this Irish Mint Mojito.

But when Cinco de Mayo comes around I’m all about Salmon Fish Tacos, Avocado Feta Salsa, Chicken Verde, and Margaritas! I usually eat my weight, in chips, guacamole, and salsa too!

I could literally eat chips, salsa, and guacamole every day and never get bored. But what really makes me happy is hot, melted cheese. There is something so comforting and soothing about cheesy dips. For me, dips make me feel especially happy when they have a little heat!

About This Queso Blanco Dip

You can’t open a bag of chips without serving up some Queso Blanco to go with them! This dip starts on the stove but finishes in the crockpot, where it stays creamy and hot for as long as you need.

• This dip is made with three kinds of cheese and lean and healthy Greek yogurt. Adding Greek yogurt to recipes doesn’t sacrifice flavor, but it does add protein.
• White Cheddar and Monterey Jack work extremely well together in this recipe. The cheddar is tangy with a sharp bite to it while the jack cheese is creamy and smooth. Cheese is the No. 2 source of calcium for Americans and it is the No.1 food craving for Americans, beating even chocolate!
• I used canned chopped jalapenos and chili peppers. If you want to substitute fresh jalapenos, that would work, they would add a bit more heat and a fresh tasting bite.
• I added a few of my favorite spices, they can be omitted if you prefer.
• When melting the cheese on the stove top, be sure to slowly add enough milk (whisking constantly) to make a creamy, dippable consistency.
