Chili con Queso

[Deleted]

TexMex chili con queso if you can't get asadero to make the real thing. I got this recipe about 40 years ago from the wife of a guy I worked with. She was from the interior and used Velveeta, and I swear it's the only good use I've ever found for the stuff!

Chili con Queso

1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 small can chopped green chilies

2 lbs Velveeta, cubed
1 can undiluted cream of chicken soup(do not substitute)

Combine first four ingredients in saucepan and cook over low heat until liquid cooks down, stirring occasionally.

Melt Velveeta in nuke box on 70% power, stirring every few minutes. Add soup and stir well. Combine melted Velveeta/soup mixture with first four ingredients.

Serve from a crockpot to keep it hot.

This keeps well in the fridge and can be frozen. It's hotter the next day and the next and the next if it lasts that long.

I like to take a block of Velvetta, about 1/2 cup of milk and 1 can of hot rotel, throw it all into the crockpot on low...stirring occassionally until it's all mixed and melted.... switch the crockpot to the "keep warm" setting and let everyone serve themselves.
