Tips
- You can store your cooled down cheese sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- If the cheese solidifies, just heat it up again on low heat until it is smooth.
- You can heat up the queso dip in the microwave in 15 to 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
- To make the sauce even creamier when reheating, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk or evaporated milk.
- The jalapeño brine adds more of a tangy flavor than spicy; you can omit cayenne pepper if you prefer no heat.
