Ingredients
- 8 oz Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 3 oz sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp yellow onion finely diced
- 2 Tbsp poblano pepper seeds removed and finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp Serrano peppers seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp fresh tomato diced
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 cans evaporated milk 12 oz each
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt a butter in a medium size sauce pan over medium high heat. Once the butter is melted, add in the onion and peppers (poblano and Serrano peppers). Cook for a 2-3 minutes until they are soft. Then add in the garlic, tomato and cumin.
- Mix together the evaporated milk and cornstarch in a separate bowl until the cornstarch is mixed into the milk. Then pour this mixture into the sauce pan with the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium high heat. Stir and heat until the mixture is thickened.
- Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese in small batches until the cheese is melted. Mix until the cheese sauce is smooth.
- Then stir in the salt. Taste test and add more salt if needed. The cheese sauce will thicken as it sits as well.
Notes
- *Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days. When reheating you will need to add more milk to the cheese to thin it out.
