Prairie Pure's Chile con Queso

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Prairie Pure Butterkäse cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, minced (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 jalapeno chiles, stems and seeds, removed and minced
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with green chiles

Directions:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and saute the onion, garlic and jalapenos until soft. Add the tomatoes with their liquid and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, to reduce the liquid. When the tomatoes begin to look dry, reduce the heat to medium-low and start adding the cheese, 1 handful at a time, stirring over medium-low heat until the cheese melts; wait for each handful to melt before adding more cheese.

Serve in a chafing dish or fondue pot to keep the queso warm. Serve with corn chips, torilla chips, or cut-up vegetables.

Makes 2-1/2 cups
