"Cream Cheese Queso"

Ingredients needed:

2 Tubs of "Fresh & Easy" Whipped Cream Cheese

1 Jar of "Fresh & Easy" Thick and Chunky Medium Salsa

1 Small Bag "Fresh & Easy" Mexican Shredded 4 Cheese Blend

Stove Top Directions:

To prepare simply combine the Cream Cheese and Salsa In a non-stick pan and over low heat stirring constantly to prevent any scorching. Heat until you melt the Cream Cheese and Salsa together and it starts to bubble a little. Then stir in the Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend. Continue stirring the mixture until the Shredded Cheese is completely melted into the Queso. At this point the Queso is ready to serve.

Microwave Directions:

Start with a microwave safe container or bowl that can be covered with a loose or vented lid to prevent any spattering. Combine the Cream Cheese and Salsa in container without stirring. Cover loosely and microwave until the cream cheese softens usually about 1 minute in most microwaves. Stir those 2 ingredients together and return to the microwave and heat for 1-2 more minutes on High Power. Remove from microwave when the mixture starts to bubble and is thoroughly heated. Stir in the Shredded Cheese Blend and return to the microwave. Heat the mixture for 1-2 more minutes until bubbly and the Shredded Cheese has completely melted. Remove from microwave and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The Queso is ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions/Variations:

Pair it with your favorite Fresh & Easy Tortilla chips for dipping. To add a little Spice and Heat as well as some color. You might want to garnish the top with a few diced peppers of your choosing.

Cilantro that's been chopped also makes a great fresh garnish for the top and adds a great top note of flavor.

Enjoy.
