Recipe Summary Spinach Con Queso

Styled after a similar appetizer at The Blue Moose in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, this is a very addicting creamy appetizer that goes well with tortilla chips. It has a little kick, but not enough to make your eyes water. Of course, for the heat lovers, you can kick it up a notch if desired. This has become an instant family-favorite and one of my most requested appetizers.

Ingredients | Locro De Papa Con Queso

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

½ cup chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 jalapeno pepper - seeded, membranes discarded, and pepper chopped

1 ½ pounds pepperjack cheese, cut into cubes

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat olive oil and butter together in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir red bell pepper and jalapeno pepper into onion mixture; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and mix pepperjack cheese and spinach into onion mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and mixture is thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Slowly pour enough evaporated milk into cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached; season with salt. Continue to cook and stir over low heat until warmed through, at least 5 minutes more.

If you want to have even more kick, chop the entire jalapeno with the veins and seeds.

If you wish to use fresh spinach, I would recommend that you reduce it in a separate pot to avoid the excess moisture.
