AUTHENTIC CHILE CON QUESO



Authentic Chile con Queso image

This is a true chile con queso that can be eaten with tostadas or in a warm corn tortilla. This is not like the Americanized version of chili con queso that we have become used to that is a cheese dip, which I also love. This is the way my grandma used to make it. The great thing about this recipe is you can play with it and adjust it to your personal taste. If you like it cheesier add more cheese. You can't mess this up unless you burn it.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb lean ground beef
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (with jalapenos if you like, I prefer jalapenos)
1 (8 ounce) bag monterey jack cheese or 1 (8 ounce) bag Mexican blend cheese, shredded
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni, cooked
1 -2 green onions (optional) or 1 -2 scallion, chopped for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook macaroni according to directions on the macaroni box.
  • Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning.
  • In a large bowl add cooled elbows, ground beef, two cans of diced tomatoes.
  • Mix all ingredients.
  • Add 3/4 of the shredded cheese bag to bowl and mix.
  • Transfer ingredients to a large lasagna pan.
  • Add remaining cheese and put on top of the casserole.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use medium-heat when cooking the macaroni. High heat can cause the macaroni to stick together and become overcooked.
  • Stir the macaroni frequently while cooking. This will help to prevent it from sticking together.
  • If you are using a microwave to cook the macaroni, be sure to stir it halfway through the cooking time.
  • Do not overcook the macaroni. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and will not hold its shape well.
  • Rinse the macaroni with cold water after cooking. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the macaroni from becoming overcooked.
  • Add the cheese sauce to the macaroni while it is still hot. This will help the cheese sauce to melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately. This is when it is at its best and the cheese sauce is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Chile Macaroni con Queso is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a potluck, party, or family dinner. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that will be a hit with your family and friends.
