Substitute for beer? We have beer allergies here - any suggestions for what to use in place of beer? I know we could leave it out but was hoping for something to add to the taste...
Wonderful Flavor I loved the hint of beer taste in the cheese. I made as directed and moved the cheese to a mini crock pot to keep it warm for New Years Eve. The next day I heated it up slowly in the same crock pot. De-Lish!
Awesome queso dip I had no problems with this dip what so ever. I made homemade chips and my kids loved it. It was a nice thick cheesy dip. I used all 3 tablespoons of cornstarch no issues using all 3 tablespoons and I had no cornstarch taste with the dip. Didn't have pale ale on hand so I used a lager and 3/4 colby cheese and 1 cup sharp cheddar. I didn't add cilantro or scallions cause I didn't have any. This was an excellent fast dip. I can't wait to make this in canada when I can get my hands on some molson stock ale! Pros: fast quick and easy
Nothing special wouldn't make again. I made this dip for a potluck. I wish I had done a trial-run because I didn't like it at all. It tasted pretty bland even with the spices onion and Rotel. My friends asked if there were potatoes in it if that gives you an idea of the consistency/flavor. It made a pretty big batch (about 4 cups) and less than 1 cup of this was eaten by a group of 20 people. I hate to say it but the calorie-cutting was NOT worth it here and I won't be making this again. Pros: Quick and easy to make standard ingredients Cons: Weird consistency flavors don't mesh well
Like restaurant queso! I really liked this healthier version of queso. I disagree with the review that said there is too much cornstarch. You can't taste it like they said. I saved the Rotel liquid to thin it out a bit if needed & did use a little of it but not much. My husband even liked it. He doesn't usually like the healthier version of anything!:). I topped my serving with fresh cilantro & it was great! I will make this again. Pros: Lower fat less calories
Adjusted ingedients It had good flavor hiding underneath the beer and the corn starch. The 3 tablespoons of corn starch was overkill. It left it with a chalky aftertaste. And so much of it was not needed. It can be made without the beer and still tastes awesome. I added the scallions and cilantro into the dip instead of serving fresh on the top and then added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and it was great! Pros: Easy to make Cons: WAY too much corn starch
Pretty good flavor though it definitely tastes low-fat. We enjoyed it fresh but it did not taste good reheated the next day.
This dish is so full of flavor and so decadent that I had trouble convincing my husband that it was low fat. I had to show him the recipe on your website! Absolutely delicious. We added some 95% lean ground beef and enjoyed this with some chips we made in our air fryer. Will absolutely make this dish again.
This recipe was fast and easy! I will never buy that jarred queso dip again!!
