QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a 3 or 4 cup ovenproof baking dish.
• In a dry medium skillet, saute the chorizo over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Remove the chorizo to a plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan juices and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and garlic and stir to combine.

QUESO FUNDIDO WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, add the oil if using. Most Mexican chorizos have enough fat and won't need the vegetable oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stir frequently to cook evenly and avoid it from sticking to the bottom. It'll take about 6-7 minutes to cook.
• Once cooked, remove the excess fat from the skillet or place the cooked chorizo over a paper towel to absorb the fat.
• Place the chorizo in an oven proof dish, setting aside 2 tablespoons to garnish when ready to serve. I divided the chorizo and cheese into 2 small clay pots, but you can use a large oven proof dish.
• Place the grated cheese over the chorizo and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Do not overcook or it will have a chewy texture.
• Remove form oven and place over a heat proof surface. Serve warm with salsa and plenty of flour tortillas or tortilla chips.

When the butter has stopped foaming, stir in the flour, chili powder, and cumin and stir until the flour is absorbed. Whisk in the beer and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, stirring until completely melted.
