Real Texas Queso Recipe

Down here in Texas, we love a few things very much, BBQ, peppers, spice, and cheese. Anyone not love cheese? Makes me think of cheese commercials on TV. " Be Hold The Power Of Cheese". Most people think of homemade Queso as Velveeta mixed with Rotel, which is canned peppers. Which isn't all too bad, besides all the junk added to Velveeta. Commercial cheese at the store only has to be 51% real cheese to be sold as "Cheese".

I made a short video showing the technique & timing for making high-quality Texas Queso. Your timing atter very much. Add this at this point, then add this, etc etc. I would suggest looking at the video. Have you ever used a hand grater to shave onions? It is a dynamite technique to add onion to recipes without large chunks. The onion almost melts into whatever you are making leaving behind the true flavor without much of the onion texture. In a smooth creamy cheese sauce like Texas Queso, this is a perfect technique to help create a smooth Queso.

Did you know people who are lactose intolerant are the normal? Humans are the only mammals on earth that naturally drinks milk after being a baby.

Prepare the Texas Sweet onion by using a handheld cheese grater and shave it into the instant pot. Use whatever onion you like and is easy to purchase.

Add minced garlic and cubed butter to the instant pot and melt

Using the cheese grater, shave fresh jalapeno into the instant pot.

Add one 8 oz package of cream cheese to the instant pot and melt and combine very well.

Add a quarter cup of all-purpose to the melted cream cheese. This is a key process. Make sure you keep stirring and cook out the raw flour.

Cooking out the raw flour. You'll notice everything starts to tighten up. Have your whole milk ready standing by.

Add in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, adding it a little at a time until incorporated. Have an additional 2 cups of whole milk ready to add.

Mix/stir, quickly and work out any possible lumps at this point. You can start adding in the additional 2 cups or more of whole milk. If you would like your Texas Queso a certainly thickness or viscosity add more or less. You'll need at least 4 cups.
