Bacon And Chile Queso Fundido Recipes

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Place the processed cheese in a medium saucepot over medium-low heat, and cook, whisking, until melted, about 5 minutes (You can also melt the cheese in a microwave, stirring after 1-minute intervals.)
• Whisk in the milk a couple tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir in the cilantro, scallions, tomato and jalapeno.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the bacon, and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Add chiles and garlic to skillet; cook and stir 3 min. or until tender.
• Crumble bacon. Spread cream cheese onto bottom of 9-inch microwaveable pie plate; cover with half each of the bacon and chiles. Top with shredded cheese, remaining bacon and chiles.
• Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 4 to 6 min. or until cheese is melted and dip is heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, crumbling it as you go, until browned and cooked through.
• Remove the chorizo from the skillet and drain it on paper towels (chorizo is very greasy!). Pour off any excess fat from the skillet.
• Without cleaning the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers.
• Cook the veggies over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until they brown and soften, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the tequila, if using. Turn the heat back on to medium-high and cook until the vegetables are golden brown and the liquor has reduced, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside. Turn off the heat.
• Mix the cheeses together, then cover the bottom of a medium ovenproof skillet with one-third of the cheese mixture . . .
• Add one-third of the vegetables . . .
• And one-third of the chorizo.
• Continue with two more layers, ending with chorizo. Sprinkle the top with chili powder.
• Bake until the cheese is totally melted, hot, and slightly bubbling around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch it constantly, as you don't want the cheese to get overly melted and hard. But you want it to be sizzling!
• Top with the tomatoes, a sprinkle of kosher salt, and the cilantro.
• Serve immediately with tortilla chips . . .
• Or carrot sticks and cauliflower florets if you want to avoid chips!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a large (12") cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile and continue to cook, stirring, until bacon is crisp and garlic is golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Add beans, stir to combine, then stir in 2 cups salsa verde. Taste by dipping a tortilla chip into mixture; season with salt if needed.
• Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl (trying to add the chips to the skillet will make a mess, trust us). Gently stir in 8 cups chips with a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated without breaking chips. Return to hot skillet. Stick a handful of fresh chips vertically into mixture here and there-they will get extra crunchy as the chilaquiles bake. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and Cotija over. Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in filling and carefully crack an egg into each. Bake until egg whites are opaque and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.
• Top chilaquiles with cilantro. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and more salsa verde alongside.
