Loaded Queso
This veggie friendly loaded queso is made with Morningstar Farms® chorizo! It's perfect for a tailgate or just a Taco Tuesday.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Morningstar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 cups whole milk room temperature
- 1 15oz can diced tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 jalapenos diced
- 6 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Prepare your Morningstar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles, according to package instructions. Once cooked, leave in the warm skillet and set aside until ready to add to queso.
- Prepare all your ingredients before you even turn on your oven. Place everything in little bowls or cups nearby so you can easily add the next ingredient without having to pause your queso cooking.
- Place a cast iron skillet on your stove over medium heat and add butter. Melt butter then add the flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute until totally combined and starting to bubble a little bit.
- Gently pour in your room temperature milk, whisking the whole time. Continue to whisk for another 3-4 minutes, trying to whisk out any of the clumps of flour. Your mixture will magically come together at about 3 minutes and 30 seconds and possibly start to bubble. Careful not to let it overflow and turn down the heat, if necessary.
- Then, add in the garlic, jalapenos, and tomatoes. Whisk to combine. Add in 1 1/2 cups of the cooked Morningstar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles. Whisk to combine.
- Add in half of the shredded cheese, whisk to melt and combine. Once it's smooth, add in the remaining shredded cheese and whisk to melt and combine.
- Remove cast iron skillet from stove. If serving straight from skillet, add additional jalapenos, tomatoes, and Morningstar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles to center of queso. If serving for an extended period of time, pour into a Crock Pot then top with jalapenos, tomatoes, and Morningstar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles.
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
