What's the best store bought dip that resembles the cheese dip at mexican

Do this instead:

Melt 1 pound of white american cheese from the deli with about a cup of half and half, depending on the thinness you'd like to achieve, then add:
- fresh jalapeño, minced
- cumin, black pepper, salt, chili pepper (to taste)


I guarantee that you'll love the result and would never buy store-bought again.

That's not Mexican... or cheese, for that matter

If you end up going with my suggestion, let me know how it turns out.

ETA: Also, keep the heat relatively low

From the guy who said to use processed American cheese

Microwave, stove top or crockpot?

Thanks all. I'm trying all the suggestions.

I said from the deli (Boar's Head). You aren't going to find good Mexican cheeses unless you are by a specialty market. Further, if you think Velveeta is in some way less "processed" than deli quality white American... I don't know what to tell you.

sodium citrate is the secret ingredient you need

Cheese + water + sodium citrate = perfect cheese dip

Only if they are using a cheese that doesn't melt well, like cheddar. Most of the "processed" cheeses like Velveeta and american cheese slices already have copious amounts of emulsifiers

yeah, isn't that the idea? to use real cheese and not a cheese with 35 ingredients listed on the package? I usually just buy a block of pepperjack and shred it.

That's a first rate queso dip
