Method

Queso Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Start by roasting the jalapeño peppers. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the jalapeños in half, remove the seeds for less heat, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven, let cool, then chop finely.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheeses

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix in Milk and Spices

    Gradually pour in the milk, stirring to combine. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Add Roasted Peppers

    Fold in the chopped roasted red bell peppers and the roasted jalapeños into the cheese mixture. Continue to stir until everything is heated through and well combined.
