The Cheesiest Homemade Texas Queso (2 Ways)

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?

Josh: "Not everything I eat is fancy and this is one of them"

That intro monologue is what I imagine I'd tell me friends about a trip to Texas

Josh should make a kitchen towel with a smily face on it so whenever he makes bread dough that needs to rise, he doesn’t need to use plastic. But he still gets his little mannnn. :)

growing up in texas our queso was always a chunk of velveeta melted and mixed with a can of rotel. as i’ve gotten older i’ve learned how to make really good queso but there’s just something about fake american cheese that you can’t replace

The sound of the butter hitting the pan killed me. 😂

Add sodium citrate in the fancy one to fix the texture issue, Papa.

Evaporated milk and 8oz of cheddar. The simplest version of queso I've found. You can add whatever extras you want. Usually just toss in half a chub of chorizo and a cup of salsa.

Trader Joe's Cheddar & Gruyere Melange cheese is made for this.

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

‘Onions love papa’ is the hardest I’ve laughed all day but I’m not sure why

The real reason he didn't name this video But Better is because he would never admit defeat in a But Better.

Josh: Not everything I eat is fancy!
Also Josh: the regular and then the Fancy Josh version.

Day 32 of asking Josh to make a series where he shows us his gone wrongs, and talks about them, especially for his complicated recipes

Me being lactose intolerant: I can't wait to make this! lol

Katy Texas here, we put breakfast sausage with onion sweat together then add the velveeta and rotel and cream of mushroom, for heat add whatever pepper you like? Many people put all ingredients in a large/deep foil pan and toss it on the grill while cooking meat to add smoke!

I love how it’s “cheesy queso”, “queso” literally meaning “cheese”. Freakin’ cheesy cheese lmao
