Notes
- The heat — Casa Ole’s Queso recipe is not known for being spicy, since it has a mild flavor. If you’d like to increase the heat, feel free to add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Just keep in mind that the chile will already provide a mild heat, so don’t go overboard.
- Stir well — Remember to stir the mixture until the cheese melts, otherwise, it will likely stick to the pan and get burned. Even though this one might sound like an unnecessary tip, trust us, we should’ve thought about it while making our own!
