Was inspired to try this recipe after a good friend make public her addiction to mass-produced chile con queso eaten straight from the jar. After reading the ingredients on one of those jars, I can't imagine going any other route than using the recipe below when a craving hits.
Chile Con Queso
Serves 8
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup half-and-half
1 pound grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup or 7-ounce can diced green
chiles
16 ounces tortilla chips
1. Melt
butter in medium saucepan.
2. Sauté
onion and garlic in melted butter over medium heat.
3. Add
flour and cook 1 minute.
4. Add
half-and-half and stir until somewhat thickened.
5. Add
grated cheese and stir until melted.
6. Stir in
green chiles.
7. Serve hot
in chafing dish or in 2-quart Crockpot with bowl of tortilla chips.
NOTE: Easy, quick, and delicious! I didn’t bother to drain the
canned green chiles when using them.
Reheats well.
This sounds GOOD!
ReplyDeleteOkay, it is delicious! I did have to stir in another 1/2 cup of half-and-half to get it to the desired consistency for me, but that was easy enough!
