I love to make this dip for parties, because it is so easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. I double the recipe and prepare it in my slow cooker, because it will not scorch. This makes it completely worry-free when entertaining.-Marie Stout, APO, AP

Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. -Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico

QUICK VEGGIE CHILI CON QUESO



Quick Veggie Chili Con Queso image

Continuing my quest to use what I already have instead of going to the store, I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens 1993 Best Recipes Yearbook. Abigail Kurtz Mahoney won $200 for her recipe. This is super simple and quick. I used 7 ounces instead of 4 ounces of green chilies, and I probably threw in about 1 cup of cilantro into the soup because I love the flavor. I also had 2 cups of onions but no zucchinis (rats). I tossed in 8 ounces of sour cream instead of serving it with individual bowls, and I skipped the cheese completely (not that I'm lacking in dairy here). The beans were very meaty, and next time I'll throw in some cayenne pepper or some hot peppers for more heat. I like how chunky everything is...a perfect recipe for a cold winter day.

CHILI CON QUESO



Chili con Queso image

If you're a University of Oklahoma alumnus you've probably sat down at The Mont for a drink and a generous helping of the restaurant's famous four-cheese queso dip. The restaurant is currently owned by three alumni and the dip (which inspired this recipe) is loaded with pico de gallo and chunks of browned sausage. It's the perfect snack for tip-off or half-time.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces processed cheese block, such as Velveeta, diced
2 ounces freshly shredded sharp Cheddar (about 3/4 cup)
2 ounces freshly shredded Monterey Jack (about 3/4 cup)
2 ounces freshly shredded mozzarella (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 ounces bulk pork sausage
1 jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup prepared pico de gallo, plus extra for serving
Kosher salt
Hot sauce
Corn chips, for dipping

Steps:

  • Combine the processed cheese, Cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into very small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  • Add the jalapeno to the drippings and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the pan and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chili powder and cumin and stir until well incorporated with the flour mixture, about 30 seconds longer. Slowly pour in the milk and cook, whisking frequently, until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese mix a handful at a time. Cook, whisking until smooth. You can add the next handful once the previous handful has melted about halfway.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the browned sausage, pico de gallo and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings and heat with additional salt and hot sauce. Serve warm with chips for dipping and extra pico de gallo on the side.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Chop and measure all your veggies and ingredients before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Use a Variety of Veggies: Don't be afraid to mix and match different veggies in your chili. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Add Some Spice: If you like a little heat, don't be afraid to add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chili. You can also add some chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the chili a nice, bold flavor.
  • Cook the Chili Until It's Thickened: The chili should be cooked until it's thickened and bubbly. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or chopped onions.

Conclusion:

This quick veggie chili con queso is a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with veggies, beans, and cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chili con queso a try. You won't be disappointed!
