Basketball Queso - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup diced tomato, drained
1 cup fire roasted whole green chili, chopped
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 cups monterey jack cheese
9 ounces soy chorizo or 9 ounces regular chorizo sausage
1 cup salsa, for serving
1 cup guacamole, for serving
1 cup sour cream, for serving
Preparation
-
Set a large saucepan over medium-high heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and cayenne.
Remove from the heat and stir in the diced tomatoes, chiles and cheeses until melted through. Keep on very low heat until ready to serve.
Cook the soyrizo in a skillet, according to the package directions.
To serve, pour the cheese sauce into a round pie plate or casserole dish and smooth out into an even layer. Spoon the soyrizo on top in lines, mimicking the lines of a basketball. Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole and sour cream on the side and chips for dipping!
