Queso Dip or Salsa con Queso or Cheese Dip

Keep it warm in a crockpot

This is one of the best dips for tortilla chips. Take it to a pot luck and everybody will ask you for the recipe. It is really easy to make with only 3 main ingredients.

Here's the recipe:

1/3 cup chopped onion

2 tbsp. butter

1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes

1 can green chiles

1 lb. Montery Jack or Velveeta cheese

1) In a sauce pan, over medium high heat, saute the chopped onions in butter, about 2 minutes

2) Add in the can of green chiles and a can of RO-TEL tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium low. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Don't cook down all the liquid.

3) Turn off the heat, then stir in the cheese. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and the cheese is melted.

4) Transfer the salsa into a crockpot to keep it warm.

NOTES:

1) Can be served with diced avocados, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, jalapenos and of course, don't forget the chips.

2) Ro-Tel is a brand of diced tomatoes with chiles. There are other brands other than Ro-Tel.
3) I found out that using Monterey Jack cheese instead of Velveeta gave a better result.
