Chili Con Queso
2/3 cup chopped onion
3 TBS vegetable oil
1 (10 oz) can tomatoes with chilies
4 tsp. paprika
4 TBS chilli powder
1 small clove garlic, minced
3 TBS flour
1/4 cup cold water
4 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 pound sharp process cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
In a medium saucepan, over low heat, saute the onion in oil until the onion is transparent. Add the tomatoes, paprika, chilli powder, and garlic.
Stir in a paste made from the flour and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the cheeses and salt/pepper - stir until cheeses are a vision of melted heaven!
Serve hot with the best tortilla chips you can find, or better yet fry your own. I love to cut tortillas into wedges and fry them in batches. Right after removing them from the oil, I hit them with some salt. I also sprinkle ground red pepper to the last couple of batches.
Enjoy!
