What is Pepper Jack Cheese?
Pepper Jack is similar to Monterey Jack cheese, but with a little heat. It is loaded with a variety of peppers and spices, making it an excellent alternative to milder cheeses.
What Can I Substitute for Pepper Jack?
Both Monterey Jack or white American cheese may be used as a substitute, because they both melt into a smooth and creamy texture.
What if I Can’t Find Diced Chilis?
If you don’t have diced chilis, salsa verde or a can of Rotel tomatoes may be used instead.
Ingredients
Start with these three simple ingredients from the grocery store.
- Cream cheese, cubed – Philadelphia plain cream cheese works best here but you can try experimenting with different flavors.
- Pepper Jack cheese, shredded – this give the dish a complexity of flavor.
- Diced green chilis – salsa Verde can be used in a pinch.
Instructions
1. Place all of the ingredients into a 5” skillet.
2. Bake at 350 F for 15 mins.
3. Stir and bake for another 5 mins.
4. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
What to serve with Queso?
- A variety of chips – pita chips, bagel chips, corn chips, tortilla chips
- Your favorite bread
- Fresh veggies
- Add it to tacos or nachos
How to Store Queso
- Store leftover queso in the fridge in an airtight container. I like to use microwave-safe containers, so that I can easily reheat the dip.
Tips and Tricks
- Packaged pre-shredded cheese is a great convenience, but I personally get the best results from this recipe when I start with a block of cheese and shred it myself.
- If you want a heartier dip, add in some cooked ground beef, sausage, or ground chicken. You could even use kidney or black beans.
- Feel free to add in other seasonings according to your tastes, such as chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Try making this easy recipe in the slow cooker.
- This dip can also be made on the stove top. Simply combine your ingredients in a skillet or medium saucepan and cook on medium-low heat until everything is melted together, stirring frequently.
- If you find that your dip is getting too thick, you can add in a bit of whole milk to thin it out.
Make this pepper jack queso for your next party. It is sure to get a 5-star rating!
