Get Smooth Queso Every Time With One Secret Addition
By KAREN HART
Queso that’s lumpy and bumpy is an all-too-common problem, thanks to the many ways different cheeses melt, but you can combat this by adding cream cheese to your queso.
Cream cheese will help stabilize your cheesy mix, binding ingredients and preventing them from separating. Most importantly, it will keep your queso smooth.
There’s also no need to worry about the flavor, since cream cheese's tangy taste blends well with other queso ingredients, and depending on the cheese, it can balance the flavor.
Be sure to keep an eye on your queso as it heats up. Keep the temperature mid to low, and take care that your sauce doesn't burn, or you will end up with a hot mess that curdles.
