I love caramelized onions, and anytime I think a well-used recipe needs help, this is what I try. In this instance, I have been making Mary Emmerling's chile con queso for years and just wanted a wee bit more flavor. So, here's the outcome: Over The Top, WOW! And, here's a note: I am not a fan of Velveeta but it does a good job in place of the cheeses in this recipe. I just can't make myself purchase it. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 onion, minced |
1 (16 ounce) can rotel tomatoes |
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated |
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated |
3 ounces cream cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat.
2. Add the onion and slowly caramelize, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5 more minutes.
4. Add the cheeses, one at a time, and stir frequently until all is incorporated.
5. Keep the queso warm and serve with tortilla chips.
