Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: open the 4-ounce can of green chilies (do not drain) and set aside; cut the 1 pound White American cheese into small cubes or thin slices to help it melt evenly.
- In a medium frying pan, melt 2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 cup finely chopped white onions to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat or transfer the cooked onions to a small plate and set aside.
- Return the same pan to low heat. Add 4 ounces heavy cream and the prepared White American cheese. Stir frequently and heat gently until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, keeping the temperature low to prevent scorching.
- Stir the reserved cooked onions and the entire contents of the 4-ounce can of green chilies (do not drain) into the melted cheese. Continue to heat and stir on low for 1–2 minutes, until everything is evenly warmed and combined.
- Remove from heat and serve the queso immediately.

Notes
I suggest that you use heavy cream, the queso will reheat better than when using milk.
You can serve this in a fondue pot at a party to keep it warm.
