Recipe for White Cheese Dip
Don’t you just love all the yummy munchies and treats that we get to dig into over the holidays! Special dips seem to be especially fun because they are delicious and yet warm and comforting.
We have lots of fun warm dip recipes here on Little House Living. Here are a few that you need to try as well:
But I know why you came here, to get this recipe for White Cheese Dip! So without further ado…let’s get started.
Recipe for White Cheese Dip
- 1 lb pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes & green chilies, drained *see notes in recipe for alternative
Start by shredding your pepper jack cheese if you haven’t already.
In a saucepan, melt together the cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and shredded cheese. You will want to make sure that you are using full-fat dairy products for this recipe to help it bind together and stay creamy when you melt it. So be sure to use the full fat cream cheese (not fat-free or 1/3 fat) and use full fat or whole milk sour cream (not light). Once the cheese has all melted, add in the tomatoes and chilis.
*If you do not want to use canned tomato products you can use your own home canned tomatoes (1 1/2 cups) and diced green chilis. I know that some of you make a wonderful home canned “rotel” and that would work perfectly in this recipe! Just be sure to drain everything first or your dip will be soupy.
This recipe for White Cheese Dip is ready to be enjoyed as soon as everything is heated through. Don’t leave it on the stove too long or you may end up with a curdled mess!
You can also make this recipe in the slow cooker but you may want to add a little more milk to keep it from getting too thick and you may need to use an immersion blender to combine the ingredients together.
This is such a yummy little simple dip recipe but it has a wonderful kick from the pepper jack cheese and the green chilis. I know that you will enjoy it!

Hello,
I have a couple of questions. Can this recipe be made with Monterey Jack cheese instead of the pepper jack cheese (I will be having kids eat it and don’t want it to spice for them). Also, how long does it need to be in a slow cooker because I would like to make it that way?
Thanks in advance 🙂
I have been craving something like this. It hits the nail right on the head! Yum! 🙂
