But, eventually I realized the saucy texture was the key,
and that making it thicker would’ve ruined everything. Instead of too much
cheese piled up on your chip, we just get a beautiful, silky coating, and as soon
as you finish one, you can’t wait to dip another, and another, and another,
until there are no chips left.
Just be careful not to cook the mixture for too long after adding
the cheese. I turn the heat off a few seconds after the cheese melts, but you
can cook it for another minute or so if you do want it little thicker. However,
there’s a danger that your cheese will get grainy, and you’ll lose that luxurious, smooth mouthfeel.
Since this doesn’t get completely firm, even after cooling
down, you can make this ahead of time, and just leave it out, although that can
be a risky maneuver, as there may not be a lot left when your guests arrive. Either
way, whether you’re making this for a Super Bowl party, or any other kind of
party, including parties of one, I really do hope you give this a try soon.
Enjoy!

Would you modify any of the ingredients if you were going to add some chorizo?
Would it be a mistake to leave this on low in a crockpot or fondue pot, stirring occasionally to keep warm and creamy?
And would the addition of chorizo be welcomed?
No pre-grated cheese? How about no store bought cheese? You made me make squeaky cheese curds and watch Gavin Webber videos and now I have a "cave" full of home made cheese. Yes, I am blaming you for my fromage hobby.
Isn't half a pound 8oz instead of 2 to 3 cups?
Can I make this a day or two in advance, keep it in a fridge, and heat it up before serving?
And BTW I love all of your videos, and your jokes are super funny.
Thanks for making YouTube a better site!
I can't seem to get a comment on. can you help me. I want to make a suggestion and can't seem to contact Chef John. james.rudow56@gmail.com
Evaporated milk? What about Whole, Half and Half or Heavy Cream if we have those on hand already? Add a little more cornstarch or is that evaporated milk have some extra condensed flavor?
Chef ....here in far North fired roasted chilies a tough find....jalapeño are plentiful ...go figure....a great substitute I'd say ...question is pickled or fresh????........fun fact Bradey was drafted by the Expos.....bring back the Expos!!!!!
queso dip ...me its looking interesting recipe I never tried this I will try at weekends ..thank you for sharing.
This queso recipe tasted amazing. I took your advice and used half jack half cheddar. Turned out great. Going to make it for the super bowl. Thanks!!
I'm sure that chorizo would be a great addition, you might have to adjust the spice and salt levels tho.
I went for the chorizo suggested by JCinDE and didn't change anything else. It's amazing. My kids even like it, and they don't like anything.
Tried it out today for the super bowl! Everyone loved it. The cumin really adds another level to it. Thanks Chef John!
I made it and ended up with it being grainy. Maybe I cooked it too long? I added beef to it and also some rice and it was still very very good, but now I want another shot at making it. :-)

Wow, was very surprised at both how much this made (we couldn’t finish during the Super Bowl), But even more so, how well it stood up to multiple reheats in the microwave, after two refrigerations of the leftovers. It disappeared, and was tasty to the end. It possibly improved over time. (We reheated at 60% power, in 60 sec increments). Delicious, as always, Chef John. Thanks so much for your yummy and fun videos!
Arrange slices of lemon, orange, and onion round and underneath the hen. Sprinkle all over generously with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bake exposed for approximately 1 hour, or until chook is cooked and juices run clean.
Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken
I made this and I loved it! I should’ve used mostly Monterey Jack like Chef John said but I will next time, it was a little too sharp for me but that was my bad. I may even use Rotel in place of the chilies and tomato since I love Rotel 😆. Thanks again Chef John!
Just made this with my son .... it was amazing...we added corn and black beans :-)
