Ingredients
- 1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Velveeta cheese (cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon yellow onion, peeled
- 2 tablespoons tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
- 10 to 12 ounces Tortilla Chips (plain, not flavored!)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Put cheddar and Velveeta into a medium pan. Set the pan over another pot of simmering water, over medium heat, and heat until cheese mixture is nearly melted.
-
Step 2: Add cream and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until cheese mixture is hot and smooth, 3–5 minutes.
-
Step 3: Transfer melted cheese mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños on top.
-
Step 4: Serve immediately with chips. If for a party, I usually serve it in a small crockpot so it stays warm and keeps the flies off!
