Number Of Ingredients 15

1 shallot, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 fresh Habanero peppers (finely diced)
4 tsp butter
Quart of half and half
2-4 Tbsp. of corn starch
1.5 lb grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (Tillamook)
1 lb. grated pepper jack cheese(Tillamook)

Wisk in half and half and slowly bring to a boil (stirring often). Mix corn starch with cold water so it is dissolved and then slowly whisk in to the milk sauce base to thicken the mixture. Return the mixture to a boil. Slowly stir in cream cheese until melted. Add cheddar and pepper jack and stir until melted. Add Chili, Jalapeños, Red Peppers, Green chilies and the other half of the habanero peppers. Mix together and let simmer for 5 minutes for the ingredients to get to know each other. Transfer contents to keep dip hot. Serve with tortilla chips. Alternately, you can add Franks Hot sauce (or your favorite hot brand) to spice up the mixture a bit, although it is plenty spicy without it.

1-1/2 lb ground beef
14 oz can tomato sauce
6-7 oz can tomato paste
diced chiles to taste (handful)

  • Use a variety of cheeses: A good nacho dip should have a variety of cheeses to provide a complex flavor. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Monterey Jack, mozzarella, pepper Jack, or even queso fresco. For a vegan nacho dip, you can use a combination of plant-based cheeses.
  • Add some heat: If you like your nacho dip with a little bit of heat, add some chili peppers, cayenne pepper, or Sriracha sauce. You can also use a salsa or hot sauce that you like.
  • Don't forget the toppings: Nachos are all about the toppings! Some classic toppings include sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and jalapeños. You can also get creative with your toppings and add things like black beans, corn, or even pineapple.
  • Serve it hot: Nacho dip is best served hot and bubbly. If you're making it ahead of time, reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
