Easy Freezer Meals | Cheese Dip (Easy Freezer Meals) @EasyFreezerMeals | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Welcome back to Easy Freezer Meals. Today we get to make a quick and easy party food that doubles as a topping for nachos, vegetables, potatoes, or as a simple cheese dip (just like I like it).
To make this cheese sauce all you need are a few basic ingredients.
1 block (1-2 pounds) of a Velveeta style cheese
2-4 cups of whole milk
pepper of your choice
2-3 oz butter
(optional) 1-2 cans of Rotel
The reason we are using a processed cheese for this recipe is because it contains an ingredient called Sodium Citrate. Sodium Citrate is an emulsifier that keeps the molecules of protein and fat from separating. If you want to use cheddar or any other fresh cheese you will need to add sodium citrate to your mix. If you want to see how that's done check out my other channel and watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=7erdaiV3UVE
Just remember that you want your cheese sauce to be on the thin side as it will thicken a bit as it cools..
Now on to this recipe:
Grate the cheese and mince your peppers. In a small pot melt the butter. Add the cheese to the butter and on low heat stir till the cheese begins to melt and gets incorporated with the butter. Add a cup of milk at a time and continue to stir on low heat. Keep adding milk till you reach a thin but not watery sauce. Once you do it once you will know what I'm talking about. As soon as your chees has fully melted and your sauce is smooth add you peppers. At this point you can add the Rotel or any additional ingredients if you want.
Let your sauce cool just a bit and pour it into freezer friendly containers (zip lock works great). Store in your freezer till you are ready to use. To reheat all you have to do is allow to thaw and heat on the stovetop. You can add a little milk till you get it to the consistency that you want.
This is perfect for family game nights, unplanned party guests, holidays, snack time, nachos, potatoes, fajitas, chili con care, cheese dip, hot dogs, casseroles, I can go on and on and as we use this cheese sauce for all sorts of things and I can't wait to hear how you use it!!
