QUESO ASADERO RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and tomato; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green chile; cook for 2 minutes then stir in the cheese and milk. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the cheese has melted.

Steps:

• Stovetop method: Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place a bowl inside the pot to create a double boiler. (The bowl should be big enough to rest above the rim of the pot without the bottom touching the water.) Add both cheeses, the half-and-half, garlic, jalapeño and ground black pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the dip is creamy. Stir in the green chilies.  Slow-cooker method: In the base of a slow-cooker, combine both cheeses, the half-and-half, garlic, jalapeño and ground black pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 50 minutes, stirring once half-way through. Stir in the green chilies. Transfer to a serving bowl or reduce the temperature of the slow-cooker to warm and keep covered until ready to serve. Top with diced tomatoes, cilantro, and sliced jalapeño. Serve immediately.
