CHILI CON QUESO
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

AUTHENTIC CHILE CON QUESO
This is a true chile con queso that can be eaten with tostadas or in a warm corn tortilla. This is not like the Americanized version of chili con queso that we have become used to that is a cheese dip, which I also love. This is the way my grandma used to make it. The great thing about this recipe is you can play with it and adjust it to your personal taste. If you like it cheesier add more cheese. You can't mess this up unless you burn it.

SLOW-COOKER QUESO
On gameday, queso is an undisputed MVP but it often loses steam (and silkiness) by halftime. To combat the cooldown issue, this recipe calls for making the queso in a slow cooker, which you can keep plugged in to maintain cheesy, melty bliss through the final drive.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a 1 1/2-quart slow cooker, toss both cheeses with cornstarch to evenly coat. Stir in tomatoes and evaporated milk; season with salt.
- Cover and cook on low until mixture is bubbling and thickened slightly, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and stir until smooth. Season with more salt and garnish with onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips on the side.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your chile con queso a more complex and flavorful taste. Try using a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack cheese.
- Add some spices. Chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder are all great additions to chile con queso. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Don't overcook the cheese. The cheese should be melted and smooth, but not browned. Overcooked cheese will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Tortilla chips, crackers, and salsa are all popular choices. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Chile con queso is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chile con queso ever. So, what are you waiting for? Try making chile con queso today!
