How To Make chili con queso

Test Kitchen Tips

This dip is very thick. If you prefer something thinner, leave out the flour. It will still be a thick cheese dip.

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat vegetable oil over low heat. Add onion and cook until limp (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 2

Add tomatoes with juice and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 3

In a small bowl, add evaporated milk and mix with the flour until smooth.
Step 4

Add to tomato mixture; simmer uncovered until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 5

Cut Velveeta cheese into small chunks; add to tomato mixture.
Step 6

Gradually add cheddar cheese, stirring until all cheese is melted.
Step 7

Add green chilies, jalapeno peppers, and garlic powder to taste.
Step 8

Cook on medium heat, stirring to prevent burning until heated through. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
