Chile con Queso

I wanted a really different Queso recipe for my latest party and saw this great recipe on the Bon Appetite site. It’s officially called Bob Armstrong Chile con Queso. I call it Chile con Queso.
It is a little more involved than your ordinary Queso recipe, but trust me it’s worth it! And I made the Queso and Picadello ahead of time. I reheated and assembled right before the party. The reheating puts another step in the process, but if you use a induction plate you can just let it reheat slowly as your doing other things. You can also make and put in the oven (or I used my countertop convection oven) on 250 or so, just to keep warm.
The Queso has Jalapenos and Poblano peppers in it as well as fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, Monterey Jack cheese and Cheddar cheese. It is a super tasty Queso. Your guests will be surprised with the delicious Picadillo hiding under the Queso. It is flavored with onion, green pepper, garlic, cumin and chili powder.
Then you top it all off with fresh Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Sour Cream for dipping. You can also served more Pico, Guacamole and Sour Cream on the side. Serve with Tortilla chips, you will have a hit for your party!
I only got this one picture! After I brought it out to the party it disappeared before I could get any more pictures! I guess I will have to make it again…oh well! You can even half this recipe for a smaller group of people.
This is one recipe you want to keep!
