Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by cubing the white American cheese to ensure it melts evenly. Dice the green chiles if not pre-diced.
Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:
Add the cubed cheese to the slow cooker. Pour in the half-and-half or milk, which will help to create a smooth texture.
Add Flavorings:
Mix in the diced green chiles for a mild heat and extra flavor. Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder for depth and complexity.
Stir to Combine:
Stir everything together gently until well combined.
Cook on Low Heat:
Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure that the cheese melts evenly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and Adjust Seasoning:
Once the cheese is completely melted and the queso is hot, taste and add salt if necessary.
Garnish and Serve:
If preferred, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the queso before serving as a fragrant garnish.
