Yard House Miguel's Queso Dip Recipe

A good queso dip needs the right balance of creaminess, spice, and richness—Yard House's version does it best!
The combo of melty cheeses and bold seasonings makes this better than anything from a jar.
I always stir in the diced peppers after turning off the heat so they keep a little bite instead of turning mushy.
A splash of beer gives this dip a deeper flavor without making it too heavy.
If it starts thickening too much while sitting, a little warm milk or broth will smooth it back out in seconds.
