From-Scratch Somewhat-Spicy Chile Con Queso

Produced for women and women-like entities on discord and to keep me off the horrors of recipe websites.

Transcribed from my partner who actually knows how to cook. It is therefore less exact as they eyeball the affair and modify to taste.

Dependencies #

Tools #

  • Cooktop
  • Sauce pot
  • Cheese grater
  • Whisk

Ingredients #

  • 700mL evaporated milk
  • 450g jack cheese
  • 115gish (like a can) diced green chilies
  • 115gish (like a can) pickled jalapeños
  • 12g corn starch
  • 6.0g salt
  • 3.0g garlic powder
  • 2.5g onion powder
  • 2.0g pepper
  • 2.0g tajin seasoning

Prep #

  • Shred jack cheese. It does not need to be too fine or too consistent, it just melts better that way.
  • Drain the jalapeños.

Cooking #

Whisk together the milk, cornstarch, seasonings, and peppers in a sauce pot over medium heat until simmering. Don’t boil because it’ll make the sauce chunky.

Reduce the heat and add the cheese in batches while mixing until smooth.

Taste and add additional seasonings as needed.
