Crock pot white queso dip is an authentic queso dip!

This is a very authentic queso dip and we don’t use any processed Velveeta.  This recipe uses just good old fashion white American cheese.

It tastes just like the restaurant style white queso and I think your family will become a huge fan as well. This dip is definitely different than a Velveeta queso but just as easy to make in the crock pot as well.

This white queso dip recipe is perfect for your Taco Tuesday recipes or for your next party. My family just loves it and I think you will too. We love to serve it with tortilla chips or Homemade Air Fryer Tortilla Chips.

You only need a few ingredients to make this delicious and authentic easy slow cooker queso dip recipe.  It doesn’t take much to prepare this queso recipe and it tastes better than anything made from processed cheese.

How to make crock pot white cheese dip:

You are not going to believe how easy this recipe is to make.  Thanks to the crock pot, you really just need to throw all the ingredients in and the slow cooker does all the hard work!

First tear or cut your cheese into ½ inch cubes or pieces.  Then in your 1.5 quart crock pot , add the chopped White American Cheese cut into ½ inch pieces. 

Tip: I find my White American cheese in the deli section at my grocery store. You will ask them to slice it, just like you would if you wanted them to slice fresh turkey or ham.

I have used Monterey jack cheese before when I couldn’t find the white American at my local grocery store but I do prefer the white American cheese so definitely get that if they have it available.

Then add green chilies, milk, and seasonings.

Tip: You can use ¼ tsp garlic powder and ¾ tsp salt instead of garlic salt.

Finally, stir the mixture then cover and cook on low until melted – stirring occasionally until the cheese is completely melted.

Tip: Generally, I monitor the consistency of the dip recipe. If it’s not as creamy as you would like, then add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time to the crock pot until the dip is the consistency that you prefer.

When the cheese is melted and heated through, it is ready to serve.

Variation ideas

  • You can use salsa or a can of rotel instead of the green chilies.
  • Meat would be a great addition to this white cheese dip.  I would use either ground beef or sausage and brown the meat choice and drain it prior to adding it to the crock pot with the other ingredients.
  • Cream cheese can be added with the cheese for a different flavor. I would use about ½ a block and adjust the milk as needed to get the right consistency.

  1. Carrie Barnard says:

    I think that will work great! Keep the crock pot on the warm setting and the cheese dip will thicken as it sets so you might need to add more milk to thin it out as needed.

  2. Madeline says:

    I’m making this for a crowd this weekend and only have a 1.5qt crockpot. If I were to double-batch, making it on the stove and then adding it to the crockpot in batches to keep warm – do you think it would be okay? Could it possibly get funky in the process? Thanks!

  3. Carrie Barnard says:

    No it should work great.

  4. Penny says:

    I canโ€™t wait to take this for a lunch Taco Tuesday! If I double the recipe, will a 4 quart crockpot be too large?

  5. ADrury says:

    5 stars
    This is delicious, easy make and great for nachos!! I have found my quest recipe.

  6. Carrie Barnard says:

    I think that is an error in our program. If you double the recipe, you will want to use 9 ounces of green chilies (2 cans that are 4.5 ounces each). Thank you!

  7. Carrie Barnard says:

    I’m so glad you enjoyed it – Thank you for sharing!

  8. Kerry Knoll says:

    Be careful!!!! if you use the 2X or 3X button the amount of green chilies is way off!

  9. Kelly says:

    Hi! The 1x recipe says to use 1 4.5 oz can of chilies, but the 2x recipe says to use 2 9oz cans. Just wanted to check that was correct and we’re supposed to use 18 oz green chilies for a doubled recipe?
