Queso Blanco

 This recipe is courtesy of my sister, Gracie. It is super easy and hands down the best homemade queso I've ever had. 

1lb White American Cheese (Any brand from the deli works, I always ask them to slice it in about ¼” slices and then crumble it) 1 cup Half and Half 4oz can Diced mild green chilies 2T diced pickled Jalapenos 1 T Pickled Jalapenos Juice For a milder queso, leave out the pickled jalapenos, but I recommend leaving in the juice if you have it on hand for more flavor.

This can be made on the stove, in a crockpot or in the microwave. I always do the crockpot. Combine all ingredients and melt in your chosen manner. If you use the crockpot, set it to low and stir every 15 minutes until melted and combined. For the microwave, stir every 1-2 minutes until fully melted and combined. If you use the stove just make sure the heat is really low so you don’t burn the cheese and stir frequently until melted.
