The Cheesiest Homemade Texas Queso (2 Ways)
Video Overview & Insights
I don't need to say a lot here...cheesy dip, chips, Texas, it's a beautiful thing! We're going to make two versions of Texas queso with one being the traditional American cheese version and then, of course, the fancy Josh version. Which one is the ultimate queso? Let's found out, shall we?
It's not fake cheese you dolt, not everyone grew up a rich spoiled kid.

It's Red Leicester!!! Not cheddar. I'm really very distressed about this.

I like how the ultra processed chemically engineered, commercialized, stabilized dairy product "American Cheese" is the one considered traditional

American cheese isn't fake, it just has sodium citrate which keeps the cheese from breaking when heated and creates a smoother texture.
It also however effects the acids that make cheese have a strong flavor, meaning it will dull the cheese's sharpness.
But by all other means it's still cheese.... it's really not that big a deal, i use to call it plastic, but it's just not true.
MSG being the same, i don't really like it, i think it's laziness to rely on it. But it's found in many natural ingredients like seaweed.
In naturally occurring quantities it's safe, hell in unnatural quantities it's safe, but if you eat a lot of stuff with "safe amounts" in it, i often wonder if the daily consumption is getting to be to much.
It IS an excitotoxin, but only in large mounts (everything is poison if there is enough of it.)
American cheese gets a bad wrap for no real reason. It was a key part of rations in WWII.

In the best queso I’ve had they had very thinly sliced onion and carrots. It was pretty thin really good just on tortillas
@merindymorgenson3184American cheese is not fake cheese
@bradcruce4078No cumin?
@Steyrshrek1Can you make a few other queso videos. This isn’t my cup of tea in terms of queso.
@Ann_L_PlugsSpace cheese got me dead
@Greasy_KingYou need to make a roux!!! Stop being lazy!! Notice how your dips hardened into this lumpy junk. Stop cutting corners and then teaching people to cut corners with horrible results
@apollstar1Now I just have a giant cheese lump that won't melt into the whole milk. Nothing ever works for me 😂
@JesselivzI tried making it but I think I used the wrong milk. It was Vitamin D milk, not whole milk.
@DiegoDiaz1999make choriqueso
@karma.7138cheese and milk never combined. followed the recipe exactly :/
@Zatch_20A half scoop of chopped brisket atop both would make them even better. Taco meat works too.
@brianrepp6283Where is the exotic queso?
@MichaelGoertzen-k9m7fTried doing this in my microwave, making a bechemel thingy in yo microwave is not as bad as it sounds
@yoshiyoshi9496Guess who’s making steak and nachos for the next 6 months😈
@ChainChompWanLove how you saying fake cheese as to me it is considered the same in the uk for patties. But traditional cheese anywhere else is much better pick if you ask me.
@Marty51416Does the traditional browns good under the salamander?
@danielvillasenorlopez5733that bechmel turns into a brick in less than an hour. a waste.
@_veryAvocado should never be hidden 😢
@tommythemausI love your recipes and videos. Seriously, you’re pretty great. ❤
But I really struggled with this video
I’ve stopped and rewound and paused and relisted probably two dozen times and the video just goes too fast
I’m really struggling to keep up and it’s very difficult
I just wanted to give some feedback on the videos ability to help a person. Repeat your processes.
I understand TikTok and all that crap make everything go 1,000,000 miles an hour
But for those “older “in their 40s and up it is just so hard to keep up when things just need a few more seconds per ingredients and the editing to more fully show each step
Not trying to be negative just letting you know I love you and you’re great and I wanna keep on watching your videos and I hope maybe they could slow down a little bit ❤
Livin your dream, Breh. Big ups.
@gridirongolf2928Impressive 👌🏻 i m from texas n absolutely loved what u did here , just earned a subscription
@EternalBliss74Crazy thought from outside America. I never had the real deal. But I think I can imagine what it should be.
Make your upgraded version, but add a dash some calcium phosphate, and a touch sodium hexametaphosphate
I bet you will get the strong authentic cheesy flavours and the decedent smoothness that comes from processed "cheese"
As you said in your book, texture is almost everything. that dip needs a very specific texture.
You will not find a better queso recipe on the internet. Made this for multiple groups of ppl and everyone raves about it. Absolutely legit
@bke37699How do I keep the cheese from coagulating afterwords? I mixed all the ingredients and it melted but there's still a "watery" bit surrounding the melted cheese. Should I have cooked it on med for longer? I felt stirring at that temp was too hot and I didn't want to burn it. Thanks
@Matty_Johnson:)))
@AddisynJuarezGood god, adding salt in after all that cheese? That must be so salty lol
@ryanteacher8134DO NOT TAKE JOSHUA WEISSMAN'S RECIPES! THEY SUCK!
@Siberianhusky89they both look good,
@rogeliomontoya-y1yI absolutely hate American cheese, but when it’s made into queso, it’s liquid gold. Don’t know why. And H-E-B sells a brisket queso and white cheese queso that is badass. But I want to make both of these now. I’ll eat every bit of both.
@heatherholden3774Of couse americans prefer fake GMO cheese. It's what your generation grew up on.
@DK-ei4edYou totally fucked it up with the cilantro
@DoomzdayxxAmerican Cheese isn't "fake cheese". It's a blend of cream cheese and other soft young cheeses, milk and emulsifying salts. it's actually a marvel of modern engineering
@IndividualHumanRights-up3mlYou should try to make the on the border restaurant queso (not the stuff that comes in jars at Walmart) it’s so good
@alanwhite9294Hey @joshua I tried the queso recipe. It came out grainy. Any suggestions?
@vanessafanelli5646Dumb question, I am interested in the induction cooktop. But when I click the link it just sends me to an app called Howl, that apparently thinks i am a creator selling things.
@SabarKoAMaking this in Sweden will give you some issues, I swear all Sweden sells in terms of cheese is weak cheddar and 50 different types of gouda cheese (dutch cheese)
@xsweetseI don't know man... I'm Texan and used a mild cheddar with muenster instead, kicked up the amount of sour cream by maybe a 1/4 cup and uhhh... it's pretty bomb, taste, texture and all. 😅 Don't sell yourself short!
@mistyizeI just ate at Papasitos for the first time and I'm now a firm believer in Texmex.
@menomenaaMade this after eating at Papasitos in Austin and the only thing missing from your recipe is a dollop of taco meat on top.
@menomenaaAmerican cheese IS cheddar. It’s cheddar with milk. If you make queso with cheddar and add milk, you are making american cheese! Also, kraft singles are not american cheese.
