In reply to Jeff. I'm so glad you enjoyed the queso, Jeff! I'm not sure how American cheese would substitute into this. There are typically a lot of additives in American cheese and without having tried it I can't say for sure how it would work.

This was delicious. I’m curious, could I sub out the 80z. of cheddar cheese and replace with 8oz. of American cheese? Do you think this would alter the amount of evaporated milk needed?

In reply to Jay. Hi Jay! It is possible, but the texture may not be quite as smooth when the queso is reheated so just be aware of that. :)

I added chopped jalapeño w the onion, fresh chopped cilantro and chopped canned chili’s already in Adobo sauce, excellent!

Wow! I just this second finished making this, and tasted it on a café-style corn tortilla chip. It is crazy good. Thank you so much. I did use the ancho chili powder and the cayenne. Fantastic.

In reply to Caroline. Yes, I did drain the Ro Tel. That way it closely resembles the original recipe.

In reply to Jerry. I have some cans of rotel that need to be used up so I was glad to read your comment that it worked in this recipe. Did you drain it?

In reply to Nicole Kimzey. Hi Nicole! I haven't personally tried it, but I think it should work just fine. :)

Question: I’m making this right now and wondered if anyone has put sausage in it.

So good and can I just tell you how amazing it is to not have to scroll back and forth looking for the measurements.

In reply to Clay. Hi Clay! My concern would be that it wouldn't melt nicely. :(

Just made it for a pre Super Bowl snack, and it turned out great! Velveeta will never again be used in my house thanks to this recipe!

Would queso fresco be a good substitute for the cheddar cheese?

In reply to Lisa. You could, but the texture might not be quite as smooth when reheating and you may need to add some more milk.

Can this be made ahead of time and then re-heated?

In reply to Andrea. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Andrea! Did it separate? If so it was likely cooked on too high of a heat. :(

Not good at all! The evaporated milk ruined it .my husband did not like it at all & tried to fix it but nothing helped . Taste was off . Not sure why this got high reviews! Lol.

In reply to Kira. I made this with 9oz of heavy cream + 3oz of whole milk (I’m sure any level of fat would have worked) as a substitute for the evaporated milk and it worked great!

In reply to Annie. Hi Annie! Did you sautee the vegetables and everything before keeping it warm in the crock pot?

By: Sam Merritt

Sam Merritt — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:22:09 +0000

In reply to Kira. Hi Kira! I haven't tried. Of course the recipe is going to work best as written, but I think if all I had on hand was heavy cream, I would try it. :)
