Slow Cooker Queso Fundido Recipes

Steps:

• Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chili powder and garlic powder and stir to combine. Add 1/4 cup water and let simmer until evaporated.
• Transfer the beef to a slow cooker. Stir in the cheese and salsa. Cover and let cook on high until melted, about 1 hour.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

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:

• Roast the poblano chile under a hot broiler, on a grill or on a hot comal. After the chiles skin has began to char, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Remove the stems, scrape out the seeds and peel off as much of the charred outer skin as possible. Discard the charred parts, seeds and stem. Chop up the poblano flesh and set it aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and begin to brown the sausage. As you brown it, break it up well, so there are no large chunks.
• While the sausage is browning, peel the onion, discard the peel and cut off the stem portion and discard those as well.
• When the sausage is done, drain off any excess liquid. Chop up the onion and then add the onion and chopped poblano to the cooking sausage and continue to cook the mixture until the onions and chiles soften. Turn the heat off briefly and pour in the tequila if you are using it. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. You want it to be a very dry texture.
• Cut the queso quesadilla into small chunks.
• In the bottom of the slow-cooker, add in a layer of cheese, top with the chorizo mixture and cover with remaining cheese. Mix it up a little and let it cook for about an hour or until the cheese is melted. You can either transfer it to a serving dish and drizzle salsa verde over it, or just serve it out of the slow-cooker if it needs to stay warmed, and have the salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the processed cheese, pepper jack, milk and cumin in a small slow cooker. Cook on low, 1 1/2 hours.
• Uncover and stir well until completely smooth. If the queso is still lumpy, cover and continue cooking on low, stirring every 15 minutes, until all the cheese is melted and smooth. Keep the slow cooker on warm. Serve the queso with chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and lightly spritz an oven-safe bowl or dish with cooking spray (Pam).
• Cover the bottom of prepared dishl with salsa.
• Add half the Velveeta cubes, then the sausage on top, then 1/2 cup salsa, then the rest of the Velveeta cubes on top of that, then sprinkle with the jack cheese.
• Bake in oven for 20 minutes until bubbly.
• Remove and sprinkle with the green onions.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Bring wine to simmer in double boiler.
• Add grated cheeses, stirring until completely melted.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Pour into fondue dish and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:
