Notes
Please use less jalapenos if you like your Queso mild. Sorry about the fire roasting part not getting recorded during my video. Please make sure that the mixture doesn't boil or it will split. Always shredd your own cheese for smooth texture. This recipe is great for parties. Can be kept warm in a slow cooker, just add a splash of cream if it starts to get too thick.
