Buffalo Wild Wings Queso Recipe

This Buffalo Wild Wings Queso is smooth, cheesy, and loaded with just enough kick to keep dipping one chip after another!
Start with a base of white American cheese—it melts down cleaner and silkier than cheddar.
The trick that really makes this work is folding in a splash of beer near the end for depth and a little extra bite.
This queso comes together fast, but be sure to stir constantly once the cheese goes in so it doesn’t clump!
I like how it holds up on nachos without turning stiff or greasy after a few minutes.
Use low heat once everything is melted—high heat will break the sauce and make it gritty!
