Chile con Queso

No party is complete without a good dip!  There are a million and one good dips out there.  After trying this recipe, you'll only have a million to go :)

Ingredients

• Half a large white onion or a small one, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 roma tomato or half a large tomato
• 1/2 cup chopped spicy pepper of your choice (I used green chiles, of course)
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 lb American cheese, cubed

Directions

• Saute the onions and garlic in the butter until soft
• Add the tomato, peppers, oregano and salt and cook over low heat until heated through

• Stir in cheese and cook until it melts

Variation 1: For a heartier dip, add 1/2 lb of browned ground beef to the dip

Variation 2: For a slightly healthier dip, substitute room temperature nonfat cream cheese for half the American cheese

Serve with chips, over fries, or however else think may taste great!
