Notes
It's easiest to purchase white American cheese at the deli counter. Just ask for a 3/4 pound block of cheese.
This can easily be doubled to serve more people.
Queso can be frozen. See my tips above.
Milk can be substituted for heavy cream. It is thinner so start with 1/4 cup and add more until you get your desired thickness.
If you want to keep this warm for guests, put it into a small (1.5 quart) crock pot on the warm setting.
