Texas Queso Recipe: An Exceptional Cheese Dip Recipe From the Lone Star State (Kind Of) by Katie Smith
Born and raised in Texas, California became my home this year. Queso is a staple in Texas homes and restaurants, but it's hard to find here. When I get homesick and need some cheese dip in my life, this is my go-to queso recipe. With ground meat, three cheeses and cream, it's a Texas two-step above most recipes. Buy plenty of tortilla chips because you won't be able to stop eating it.
