Ingredients
Ingredients (~12 servings)
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 12 oz medium cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Whisk half and half and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until smooth with no lumps.
- Heat over medium-high, stirring constantly, until it just starts bubbling around the edges, about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 seconds while stirring, then remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return pan to low heat and stir until cheese is completely melted and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
- Add a splash more half and half if the mixture is too thick.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
Queso thickens as it cools; keep warm in a slow cooker on warm setting for parties.
