Preparation

Step 1

First saute onion in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat; stirring occasionally.

Add 1/2 tsp salt, about 5 twists of pepper and 1/2 tsp cumin to onions.

Add the chopped chili's and jalapeno's; cook for 3 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Set mixture to the side.

In a large sauce pan, melt butter on low. Add flour, whisking constantly.

When your roux begins to boil, set the timer for 1 minute. Continue Stirring.

Add in 2 cups of milk while whisking. Cook on medium to medium low for approximately 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Turn the heat down to low; add onions, chili's, jalapeno's and garlic mixture; Continue stirring.

Remove from heat; add the grated cheese, one handful at a time; stirring while you add the cheese.

After you have added half of the cheese, taste the queso. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Place cheese in a slow cooker to keep warm.

Serve with tortilla chips.

*KITCHEN TIP: During the summer months, you can grow peppers rather easily. To store jalapenos, cut in half, seed and then place in a freezer bag. You can pull them out as needed. For Green chili's, place chili's in foil in the oven for about 20 minutes on 350*. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. The skin should come off easily. Remove seeds and store in a freezer bag until needed.
