Baked Queso Blanco Dip

Baked Queso Blanco Dip

By Traeger Kitchen

Melty, cheesy goodness on a chip. NOTE: In place of a second can of chiles, we added our Jalapeño & Lime Hot Sauce (a lot of it) and the results were wow. The recipe has been updated to reflect that change.

Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

  • 2

    In a large saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the American and mozzarella cheeses a handful at a time, making sure the cheese is fully incorporated before adding more.

  • 3

    Add the green chiles, chili powder, red pepper flakes, Traeger Chicken Rub, and the whole bottle of hot sauce (you read that right; trust us). Season to taste with more Traeger Chicken Rub.

  • 4

    Pour the cheese mixture into a cast iron pan and place directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the cheese mixture is bubbling, 15-20 minutes.
