Slow Cooker Queso Blanco
I love a good cheese dip. Sometimes I don’t have a clue what I’m eating (yes, I know…that can be a bad thing) but if said food contains cheese I’m in. Case in point, Queso Blanco Dip. I love Mexican food but there is a certain ingredient, I’m not sure which one, that causes me to get really, really, sick when I eat it. This only happens with real Mexican food so sadly, I avoid it, but I love
Queso Blanco is one of my and my family’s favorites. It is so easy to make and this recipe is great for parties because you can make it in a slow cooker – crockpot AND as an added bonus, you can freeze it ahead of time for up to 1 month so you can make it now to have on hand for entertaining.

Make Ahead/Freezing Tips:
Allow Queso Blanco to cool down.
Spoon into freezer-safe containers and freeze up to 1 month.
I used a glass loaf pan that I then covered in freezer wrap marking the date on the wrapper.
To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in microwave on medium.
