"Alfredo sauce is a rich, creamy, and perfectly simple pasta sauce favorite. Our easy Alfredo sauce recipe is a traditional blend of cream, butter, garlic powder, and loads of parmesan cheese. While the velvety sauce typically clings to pasta, it could be your secret weapon for making your next queso dip. Its creamy consistency is already thick and decadent enough to be a dip, and its buttery and cheesy profile is essentially an Italianized version of the Tex-Mex favorite."
"To make queso out of leftover Alfredo sauce, you'll need to add a quarter cup of cheddar and a quarter cup of Monterrey Jack cheese to 5 ounces of Alfredo sauce in a pan over medium heat until melted. The combination of sharp, spicy, and nutty cheeses makes for a flavorful queso. For Southwestern flair, you can also add in half a cup of pico de gallo or half a can of Ro-Tel."
Alfredo sauce can be repurposed into a creamy queso dip by combining it with sharper, spicier cheeses and Southwestern ingredients. Add a quarter cup each of cheddar and Monterey Jack to about 5 ounces of Alfredo sauce and heat over medium until melted to create a velvety queso base. Enhance flavor with pico de gallo or Ro-Tel and season with cumin, chili powder, onion powder, or taco seasoning. Leftover jars of store-bought Alfredo work well, saving money while yielding a tastier homemade queso. Additional cheeses and toppings such as guacamole can elevate the finished dip.
