I’ve found that recipes like this queso are significantly easier to make if you’ve got your mise en place. You know, that fancy phrase that means all your things are in order before you start cooking. You’ll want to dice the onion and jalapeño pepper. Shred the cheeses, too. And let the cream cheese come to room temperature while you’re at it. (This will help it melt faster, which means your queso will be ready to eat faster!) Pour the milk into a liquid measuring cup, as well. If you’re feel...
Cook the veggies, and brown the meat.
For this recipe, you’re going to use a decently large cast iron skillet. I’ve made this recipe in a 12” cast iron skillet that’s about 2” deep (seen here in the photos, may it rest in peace) and an 8” round, one that is about 4” deep (seen in the video for this recipe.) You can use a nonstick skillet or even a saucepan if you only have small skillets. Heat the skillet, and add the oil. Once that’s hot, add the diced onion and jalapeño pepper. You’ll move the onion and jalapeño around the skil...
Make the queso.
We’re going to melt all that cheesy goodness next! And we’re going to use the same skillet—though we’re going to turn down the heat so we don’t scald anything. Once the heat is lower, add the milk and the cream cheese. You want them to both warm up, and ideally, the cream cheese will start melting. Cream cheese tip: I’ve found that room temperature cream cheese will melt faster than the kind that’s straight out of the fridge. This part takes me the longest every time I make this queso—the cre...

I did this for a weekday happy hour with some girlfriends and was pleasantly surprised that the queso stayed the perfect dipping consistency 5+ hours after I made it!

Why do you call this recipe Loaded Queso?
Because it has all the things! Ground beef? YUP. Onion and jalapeño? Check and check. Multiple cheeses? Absolutely! Avocado, sour cream and more jalapeños for garnish? Check, check and check!
How Do You Brown The Ground Beef?
Browning is the process of cooking the surface of the meat. It can also be used to cook meat all the way through, as we do in this Loaded Queso recipe. The browning process gives the beef a brown color (hooray!), and it adds flavor, too. It also pulls out excess fats from the meat. The longer the beef cooks, the browner (and more cooked through) it becomes. So to brown ground beef, you throw it in a pan with a little oil, break it up with a wooden spoon (or another kitchen tool), season it an...
Can I purchase pre-shredded cheese for this recipe?
No. Pre-shredded cheese are coated in additives to keep them from clumping and molding, and sometimes, these additives interfere with them melting like they should. Because of this, I recommend purchasing blocks of cheese and shredding them at home. It takes 5-10 minutes tops, and ensures your queso will have the desired consistency!
If you don’t like things spicy, leave out the jalapeño peppers and swap a mild cheese, like a mozzarella, for the hot pepper jack cheese.Store in a glass food safe container in the refrigerator for up to a week!Can’t find white cheddar? Use sharp orange cheddar instead.If you don’t like cilantro, try parsley instead. (That’s what I do!)- Appetizers & Starters
