Slow Cooker Queso Blanco aka Darn Good Cheesy Dip

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 cooking good Mexican (albeit as Mexican as I can get) food at home.

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.
