Making the Queso Skillet Dip

When we got home from our weekly grocery trip, we were ready to make our yummy white queso dip! It’s so easy to make, with less than 5 minutes prep.

Soften your cream cheese in the microwave and then toss all your other ingredients into your mixing bowl. You’ll likely need to dice your onion and red peppers, but the rest should be easy and ready to use.

Now, just combine everything, prep your skillet with a little bit of butter, and pour your queso dip into the skillet to cook.

You want the queso appetizer to be warm, melted, and bubbly. But it doesn’t take long. I usually cook the queso dip for 15 minutes on the stove top, until everything is nice and bubbly.

This ensures that the cheese is all the way melted and the flavors have had time to combine. The garlic, onion, and red peppers need a little bit of time to release their flavors into your queso dip.

Be sure to stir occasionally so your queso dip doesn’t burn onto the bottom of your cast iron skillet.

Once it’s ready, allow to cool for a few minutes, it will be really hot, and serve! You can serve your skillet queso right from the cast iron skillet or serve into small portion bowls to serve at each person’s individual spot.

Then, add your choice of sides for dipping – such as tortilla chips, pita bread, raw bell peppers, carrots, crackers, french bread, or pretzels. No matter how you serve it, the yummy white queso dip with all of it’s flavor will get everyone talking!
