My Crockpot Queso Turned Out Clumpy and Off-Tasting – Need Better Recipes!

[jkm10]

i tried making crockpot queso and it is a DISASTER.. its clumpy and the taste is so off.
i followed a recipe i saw -
12oz evaporated milk
1/2c - mozz, pepper jack and white american
low for 4 hours.
we’ve tried store bought ones and they are also a no go for us so please give me your best queso recipes please

I’ve never seen a recipe for queso that has this stuff in it. It’s rotel and valveeta on low you can add cream cheese as well and ground meat if wanted but that’s all it is

@heavenlyangel635, some people prefer a more homemade style, vs velveeta. Deli cheese and evaporated milk make cheese dip like you'd get at a restaurant. I personally can't stand velveeta.

@roaminginthisworld agreed on the Velveeta part it's super rich tasting

@heavenlyangel635 True queso contains real cheese.

@heavenlyangel635 I make mine the same way and if I have leftover cheese I’ll add that. Adds more flavor. Never Mozzarella, it doesn’t have right consistency. I put mine in a crockpot not too hot and let it blend away. Always a success.

@heavenlyangel635 we use velveeta and rotel for hamburger dip and it’s a HUGE hit in my family!

 

[clhudler]

Ohhhhh no ma’am lol best way to do it is old fashioned velveeta and rotel tomatoes can
Even in crock pot, I cook my meat first and throw the rest in there on low

 

[clhudler]

& I do like taco meat - with garlic, cayenne , cumin, onion powder, parsley & a lil bit of some slap ya mama

I tried the same recipe (minus mozz) and it turned out great! What brand did you use? I heard it might make a difference. Also my mozzarella always turns clumpy when I cook it so maybe that?

Velveeta and salsa

 

[joeymc23]

Throw what you made in a blender, it might help!!

 

[dicerider]

@joeymc23 nice!!

It’s white American land o lakes brand from the deli, pepperjack from the deli, equal amounts. Evaporated milk and greeen chiles!

 

[holiday777]

Best nacho cheese sauce I've ever had!

 

[richardlp]

I do
Rotel diced tomatoes and chiles can (small)
1 16oz mozzarella and another peper jack bag
I block cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
If its not creamy enough add another block of cream cheese or another cup sour cream

 

[richardlp]

I to have made an online recipe and it be not good

 

[roaminginthisworld]

It gets clumpy because the fat starts to separate. That happens when it's too hot. You could use those same ingredients (1 can to 1lb of cheese) and do it in a sauce pan on low, for 15 minutes or so, stirring constantly. It takes practice, so try, try again

My go to is a block of velveeta, can of chili, block of cream cheese and a can of Rotel! Comes out perfect in 45 minutes!
