Hot Cheese-chipotle Dip
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 can diced tomatoes, (15 oz / 425 g can)
- 1 cup lager, your favorite brand
- 1 whole chipotle pepper, canned in adobo sauce, minced, plus 1 teaspoon sauce
- 4 cups Mexican cheese blend, shredded, (1 lb / 16 oz / 425 g)
- fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Saute until onion and pepper is softened and tender.
- Stir in the flour until blended in.
- Drain the diced tomatoes but reserve 2 tablespoons of juice. Stir in the tomatoes and reserved juice into the saucepan, and stir in the chipotle pepper and 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce, and the lager.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup of cheese until melted, repeat stirring in cheese 1 cup at a time. If more heat is needed, return to very low heat and stir until the cheese is melted then remove from heat.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro to garnish. Serve with tortilla chips, enjoy.
