The Cheesiest Homemade Texas Queso (2 Ways)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I don't need to say a lot here...cheesy dip, chips, Texas, it's a beautiful thing! We're going to make two versions of Texas queso with one being the traditional American cheese version and then, of course, the fancy Josh version. Which one is the ultimate queso? Let's found out, shall we?

"Not everything I eat is fancy" "We're gonna make Josh's fancy version"
Hi Joshua, thank you for this video! I am also a professional cook (raised in Houston) and way back when I was obsessed with how to make queso naturally, without that crazy Velveeta stuff. I have been very successful in matching the artificial queso by sweating onions and garlic, then making my bechamel. After cooking out the starch for about 20 minutes, I add Anthony’s cheddar cheese powder and incorporate it. Once I’ve checked for seasoning, I add my chopped Roma tomatoes, chopped jalapeños to taste and the secret I have found to making it taste like the cheese on nachos at the Friday night football game is to add the brine from the store bought jalapeño jar. Not too much, just enough to give it that taste. Try it and see, it tastes exactly like what we remember as children 😊 Jennifer

When I worked at an office, any potluck usually had 2 or 3 versions of "Rotel Dip" - original, with country sausage, or with canned chili. Side note: if you are worried about the calories, it really doesn't take much Velveeta to make a can of Rotel "cheesy". It's really delicious on a "taco salad" ( salad greens, taco seasoned cooked ground meat, rotel dip, and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla/corn chips) and not horribly unhealthy.

No, the classic uses American cheese. People always assume it’s velveeta, but it’s not. People still use the velveeta/rotel at parties and stuff, but if you want what the restaurants are serving… I’ve also seen variations where they add cheddar and or bell pepper to the traditional version. It really depends on the restaurant. 🤷♀️ I’ve had a few with brisket in them, and holy smokes! God, I love Texas food 🤤

American cheese works because it contains emulsifying salts. Sodium citrate is one such emulsifying salt, so you can add it to queso to get the benefit of using American cheese without having to actually use American cheese.

My issue with bechamel-based sauces is the floury taste/texture. No matter how much I try to cook the flour and butter there is always that hint that it is there.
