US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a slow cooker, no need to mix anything yet. Cook on high for 45 minutes or on low for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Stir everything together with a spoon and continue cooking on low for another 15 minutes.
  • Top with chopped tomatoes and chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  1. Cooked crispy bacon. The bacon needs to be cooked before it’s added to the crockpot. And the easiest way to cook it is to make a batch of Air Fryer Bacon. 
  2. Double the recipe. This recipe makes 4 servings, so if you are making this dip for a crowd you’ll need to double or triple the recipe and use a large slow cooker.
  3. Make it even spicier. Add some diced jalapenos or serrano peppers to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients to make the queso blanco a little spicier.
  4. Leftover dip will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container. To reheat, just put the leftovers in the microwave for a few minutes on medium power, stirring it every minute. You can also reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat. However, if the queso has been frozen you will need to let it thaw out overnight in the fridge before reheating.
