Chile Con Queso
Chile con queso, every so often known as simply queso, is an appetizer or side dish of melted cheese, and chili peppers, usually served in Tex-Mex eating places as a dip for tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 8 Ounces Pasteurized processed cheese
- ½ Cup Evaporated milk
- ⅔ Cup Green chile sauce
- 1 cup Meat (chicken, pork or beef), chopped, shredded or ground
- ½ cup Jalapeno
- ½ cup Velveeta
Instructions
- Microwave cheese chunks and milk for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to gain a creamy consistency. Strain extra liquid from green chile sauce. Add green chile sauce and microwave until desired temperature (approximately 40 seconds).
- Add the ground beef and chili powder, and cook until it’s no longer pink. Make sure you break it up into nice and small pieces. Stir in the red onion and garlic. Cook until the onion begins to soften and turn translucent.
- Add the canned chiles, jalapeno, fire roasted tomatoes, and stir everything together. These fire roasted tomatoes are a game changer! I use them whenever I have the opportunity. They add so much more amazing smoky flavor than your regular run-of-the-mill diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add in the evaporated milk & Cook for 2 more minutes until the velveeta melts. Stir in 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese and cook for another minute until it all melts.
- Serving this with some crispy tortillas or chips and crackers. If you want to feel healthy about this, how about serving this with some veggies such as carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower.
