We had Vacation Bible School 2 weeks ago.\u00a0 The first day of VBS, my friend Christi showed up with this yummy, gooey, white dip.\u00a0 It was a HIT, and I managed to score the last little drop…thank goodness!\u00a0 It was some of the best queso ever!<\/p>\n

When I got home that afternoon, I was exhausted, so I decided to take a nap.\u00a0 All 3 children were asleep, and it was a golden opportunity that I was NOT going to miss!\u00a0 I nestled myself down in my soft light blue sheets and within moments I was in dreamland!\u00a0 About 10 minutes into my nap my DOORBELL rang!\u00a0 (People<\/em>, do you know that it is a SIN<\/strong><\/em><\/span> to ring a doorbell during naptime?!?!)\u00a0 Bryce, the friendly book salesman was trying to get me to purchase 6 lovely children’s books for only $100, and as I stood outside sweating to death trying to politely tell him “This sale ain’t gonna happen for you, buddy” all I could think of was my comfy pillow on my comfy bed in my cool house, and finally I just had to get a little stern.\u00a0 No way, no how am I buying those expensive books.\u00a0 So sorry.\u00a0 Good luck!\u00a0 Goodbye.<\/p>\n

I finally retreated back into my house, in my cool, comfy bed, and melted back into my sheets.\u00a0 Minutes passed, and i couldn’t go to sleep!\u00a0 All I could think about was that stinkin’ queso dip!\u00a0 I was having the strongest pregnancy craving ever!\u00a0 I knew I was literally going to be sick if I didn’t get up and do my best to make some queso.<\/p>\n

Strange.<\/p>\n

Pregnant women are strange!<\/p>\n

I peeled myself from my bed and the next thing I knew I was pulling ingredients from the fridge.\u00a0 I didn’t have the exact ingredients Christi used, but I made it work.\u00a0 I have made it 4 times in 2 weeks.\u00a0 How sad is that?!?!\u00a0 Don’t worry, I’ve shared it every time. :)<\/p>\n

Here’s my version of Christi’s White Queso.\u00a0 For this batch, I actually only made half.\u00a0 The pictures will show you a half<\/em> recipe, but the recipe below gives ingredients for a FULL recipe.\u00a0 I just didn’t have enough sour cream for a full batch this time.<\/p>\n

Recipe for Creamy White Queso Dip<\/span><\/h2>\n

You will need:<\/p>\n

Cream Cheese, Pepper-Jack Velveeta, Sour Cream, Worcestershire Sauce, Green Chilies (or Jalapenos…or Rotel), Sausage, Green Onions<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I forgot to take a picture of my sausage cooking, but go ahead and cook your sausage until no longer pink.\u00a0 Drain.\u00a0 As it is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.<\/p>\n

In a microwave safe bowl, add the sour cream, diced cream cheese, diced Velveeta, and Worcestershire Sauce<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Microwave on High in one minute increments, stirring between minutes, until all ingredients are melted and smooth.<\/p>\n

Choose your heat and add your peppers.\u00a0 I chose diced green chilies this time.\u00a0 I have also used a small can of diced jalapenos or a can of Rotel (drained).\u00a0 I went for a milder flavor and used Green Chilies.\u00a0 Use one small can of whatever pepper you like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When the sausage is cooked.\u00a0 Drain the excess fat, and add your diced onions for just a second.\u00a0 I just like to take the edge off of onions a little before I add them to food.<\/p>\n

If you like the edge (the crunch), then just throw ’em right on in the queso raw. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Add the sausage\/onion mixture to the cheese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stir and microwave 30 seconds or so and stir again to combine all ingredients and flavors.<\/p>\n

Serve with chips!\u00a0 (The best chips ever are Julio’s, in case you needed a chip recommendation)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Confession:\u00a0 my fingernails are so pitiful that I tried to crop my whole hand out of this picture by making it portrait instead of landscape.\u00a0 You still get a little bit of my thumb…which looks like a big toe, but it’s not.\u00a0 It’s a finger that some out of control 32-year old still picks!\u00a0 I’ll work on that soon, Mom…I promise.)<\/p>\n
