Chef John's Queso Dip

taste is awesome except I got the taste of uncooked cornstarch....any suggestions on how to correct that? otherwise it was easy and yummy! will certainly make again but maybe with a rue instead of just the starch mixed in with the cheese....thoughts?

This is better than our local Mexican Restaurant offers. I made exactly as written, using half white cheddar and half mont. jack. It is so super easy and quick to make.

"Our Queso is Ready For Our Faceo!" (hall of fame contender)

This was a big hit with the family. Will be making this again. We ate it like nachos. Was really good with sour cream.

Subbed 3/4 can of ROTEL for the fresh tomatoes but I'd imagine fresh would be even better. Very easy. Hits the spot but isn't exactly decadent. Could use a bit less cornstarch. I would only make this for a Mexican/Southwestern-themed event as it's not exactly the One Cheese Dip to Rule Them All, probably cuz it doesn't have alcohol in it...just my taste I guess!

Oh my gosh!! I just made Chef John's Queso Dip. It is absolutely delicious!! I will never buy another jar of "fake quest". I followed the recipe to the "T" except for one thing. I knew my Granddaughter would not care for the "chunks" even thought they are ever so small. Our local Mexican restaurant's quest is smooth. So after I added the evaporate milk but before it boiled, I poured the queso in my "bullet" and zapped it to get the chunks out. Now I do know that for some scientific reason it does change the flavor a little when you change the consistency. I then placed the pan back on the stove, brought the mixture to a boil and added the cheese and cilantro as instructed. This is an absolute keeper (aren't all of Chef John's recipes keepers!!!). As Chef John says "Enjoy"!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Everyone loved it and it was just as good the next day

Delicious. I didn't change a thing. Will make this often.

YES!!! THis dip is what a lot of the popular mexican restaurants serve. Honestly though, I feel it goes MUCH better with Preztels than chips..

This recipe has a great flavor. I loved the consistency where it was not so thick. Will definitely make this again.

Great queso!

Very good consistency. Easy to make. Good flavor.

Tastes just like the queso at our local Mexican restaurant! I will be making this again.

Awesome cheese dip! I’m making this one again.

It's pretty bad. It's not spicy at all, and I can barely taste the cheese. In fact, it's hard to taste anything but the evaporated milk. Chef John needs to call Kitchen Nightmares.

I followed the recipe exactly. Woah. Delicious! Better than the Mexican Restaurant. It's a keeper.

Made as directed. Needed more fluid to thin the dip so that it was a dip instead of a spread. I will make it again.

This wasn't the best. For some reason the diced green chilies made it bitter. Won't be making this again. I didn't get any complaints but not to my liking. A bit of salt helped, but not enough.

One more think if you did not grate your own cheese leave off the cornstarch!

OK, My first try at making this I did half sharp cheddar and half Monterey Jack, I didn't like the texture of it but the flavor was great. Second try I used all Monterey Jack cheese, that is it!!!!!!! The flavor is incredible! This tastes better than anything I've had in a Mexican restaurant! New favorite for sure!

I followed the recipe exactly as Chef John instructed and it was a huge hit! Everyone at the pot luck was stating that it was da bomb! I will make this again, and again, and again!

I cheated using dried chives, minced onion but this was amazing!

I cooked it as per the recipe this time. Next time, I'd add less salt and more cayenne. Delish! I couldn't stop eating it.
