Print Recipe

A warm, creamy, and slightly spicy queso blanco dip made effortlessly in a crockpot with Rotel tomatoes and fresh jalapeños. Perfect for parties or casual snacking, this dip is smooth, tangy, and addictive.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) queso blanco cheese, cubed or shredded
  • 1 can (10 oz / 283 g) Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies
  • 2–3 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeded for milder, seeds included for more heat)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cube or shred the queso blanco cheese and soften the cream cheese at room temperature. Finely chop the jalapeños, removing seeds if you want less heat.
  2. Add the queso blanco, cream cheese, Rotel tomatoes with their juices, chopped jalapeños, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt into the slow cooker.
  3. Turn the crockpot to low heat. Stir every 20-30 minutes to help the cheese melt evenly and prevent sticking around the edges. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the cheeses melt into a velvety sauce.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or jalapeño if desired. If the dip is too thick, stir in a splash more milk.
  5. Serve warm. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it in the crockpot on the ‘warm’ setting for parties. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

Stir every 20-30 minutes during cooking to prevent cheese from sticking or separating. Use low heat to avoid curdling. If dip thickens or separates, whisk gently with a splash of milk to restore creamy texture. For dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and melting cheese substitutes, adjusting cook time accordingly.
