Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces processed cheese, such as Velveeta, at room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for serving
2 canned chipotles in adobo
Nonstick cooking spray, for the ramekins
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Combine the cheese, cream cheese, butter and chipotles in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Scoop the cheese mixture into 4 balls on a baking sheet using a medium ice cream scoop. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 4 tall 8-ounce ramekins (ours were 2 inches tall on the outside and 3 1/2 inches wide) with nonstick cooking spray and dust lightly with flour.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil and egg in a small bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
  • Put 2 tablespoons of the batter into each prepared ramekin to coat the bottom. Put one cheese scoop in the middle of the batter in each ramekin, making sure there is a 1/4-inch border all the way around the cheese mixture (you do not want it to touch the sides). Divide the remaining batter among the ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and slightly golden around the edges, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a plate, top with a pat of butter and serve.

1 lb Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks
1 can ro-tel tomatoes and green chilies, chopped but not drained
1 lb of good quality breakfast sausage
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

  • Drain fat.
  • Add velveeta, ro-tel tomatoes and pinto beans.
  • Stir often until all of the cheese is melted.

Time 1h15m

Yield 48 dippers, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn muffin mix
2 fresh poblano chiles
1 small sweet red pepper
3 cups monterey jack cheese (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
3/4 cup half-and-half or 3/4 cup light cream
1/3 cup finely chopped peeled jicama

Steps:

  • For the cornbread dippers, prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread batter in a greased 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 400 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until top is golden. Cool bread in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan; cool completely on rack. Using a long-bladed, serrated knife, cut bread into 1/2-inch slices. Cut each slice into thirds. Place in a single layer on a large, ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and cut surfaces are golden, turning slices over after 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days. Makes 48 dippers.

Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until skins are blistered and dark. Wrap peppers in foil; let stand 15 minutes. Peel off skin and discard. Finely chop peppers.
  • Meanwhile, toss together cheese and flour in a bowl; set aside. Cook onion in hot butter in a medium saucepan until onion is tender. Stir in half-and-half. Gradually add small amounts of the cheese mixture, stirring constantly over low heat until cheese is melted. Stir in roasted peppers and jicama; heat through. Transfer mixture to a fondue pot. Place fondue pot over a fondue burner. Keep dip warm up to 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and cook evenly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help the cornbread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
