Best White Queso Recipe

This Best White Queso is the ultimate game day snack or party appetizer that tastes JUST like what you would get at your favorite local Mexican restaurant! It’s quick and easy to prepare, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

This restaurant style dip is perfectly cheesy, smooth, creamy, and has just the best flavor. It’s really flavorful, but it’s not spicy enough that I’d be nervous about serving it to kids.
