Queso Dip (Mexican Cheese Dip)

 

We have another Mexican Cheese Dip recipe here on the blog that we make and we do love it.  That Rotel Queso dip recipe is made with real cheeses with a few more ingredients.  And it is very delicious and if you would like to view it then see it HERE.      But sometimes you just need a great Mexican cheese dip that is easier and faster and only has two ingredients.

Spoon your queso or nacho cheese dip into a warmed small cast iron skillet or casserole dish and serve with tortilla chips.   Or sometimes I will serve the hot dip in our mini crockpot so it can stay hot longer.
