Instructions
In a med sauce pan, melt the butter and add the diced jalapenos and onions. Cook for 4 mins on med heat until onion is translucent and jalapeno is fragrant.
Next add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Whisk in the milk and add the sliced cheese. Let this come to simmer about 7-10 mins on med heat. DO NOT let this come to a boil just a low simmer (small bubbles will form on the outer rim).
Once the cheese has melted and the queso sauce has simmered, turn off the heat and let it cool for 10 mins. After the 10 mins, whisk the sour cream in. Whisk the sour cream before adding it into the queso so you don’t have any lumps. Turn stove back on low and to keep the queso hot, garnish with cilantro and serve! Enjoy!
Notes
The queso can be made up to 4 days in advance, store in air tight container and refrigerate.
Sprinkle freshly chopped jalapenos and cilantro into the queso before serving.
