A real crowd pleaser, this gooey, spicy and cheesy dip is perfect for Super Bowl Sunday. Serve with a big bag of tortilla chips and cold beer.
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 Serrano peppers, diced
- 3 jalapeno peppers, diced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 cup of milk
- 6 cups of shredded Cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- Salt to taste
Directions
- In a medium sauté pan, melt the butter and sauté the onions and peppers until onions are soft and translucent.
- Put the garlic in the pan and continue to sauté for about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for approximately 40 seconds.
- Pour in the milk and continue whisking for about 5 minutes; the sauce will become thick. Drop in the cilantro and tomatoes and mix to incorporate.
- Reduce heat to low and slowly add the cheese. Stir the mixture as the cheese melts so mixture does not stick. Mix in the sour cream and a sprinkle of salt and heat through. Pour into a dip bowl and serve hot.
