Who doesn’t love queso? I’m obsessed with it. This recipe is excellent and our favorite. We eat it with chips, for dinner parties, and even as a dip for my ballpark pretzel crusted chicken (to come soon). It’s super versatile and very impressive since it’s made from scratch and doesn’t have fake cheese and crap in it. I try to make 90% of what we put in our bodies from scratch. No need for chemicals, preservatives, and junk. Plus it tastes so much better! Make this again and again just like we do!
