White chili con queso dip ingredients

To make this white queso dip recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

½ pound of lean ground beef
3 tablespoons of taco seasoning
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
8 ounces of chopped green chilies (2 four-ounce cans)
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
½ cup water
4 ounces of diced pimentos
4 cups of shredded white American cheese
½ cup of evaporated milk

Directions for the white chili queso dip

Add the ground beef to a frying pan and cook over medium heat until the beef is cooked and no longer pink – about 8-10 minutes.

Add the taco seasoning and chili powder, and cook for two minutes until the spices are well incorporated.

Drain the oil from a pan, place the beef in a bowl, and set it aside.

In the same frying pan, add the olive oil and onion. Cook over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent – about 2 minutes.

Stir in the garlic, chilies, jalapeño peppers, black pepper, and garlic powder and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add water and diced pimentos and cook for another 2 minutes.

Stir in the evaporated milk and cheddar cheese. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the cheese has melted and is well incorporated.

Spoon the reserved ground beef mixture into the dip and mix until well combined.

Serve with tortilla chips.

This dip is slightly spicy, but not too hot, and very creamy. Start your next party off in style with it!
