Chili Con Queso

Recipe from: Laura Ferguson Struempler, originally received from Katherine Struempler

This is a favorite in Chris' family made by his Grandma Struempler from El Paso, Texas. Chris' parents always had queso & chips around when the whole family was around for the holidays.

1 stick of butter
2 cups chopped onion
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 cups chopped green chilies (grandma used canned)
2 cans Ro-Tel brand canned tomatoes
2 cans cream of chicken soup
4 lbs. Velveeta Cheese, chunked
1 1/2 lbs. cheddar cheese, grated

Melt butter and sauté onions with minced garlic.  Add green chilies and tomatoes.  Cook down a little and add soup.  Add Velveeta cheese, a little at a time until completely melted and blended.  Next, add grated cheddar cheese and melt, blending a little at a time.  You need a very large pot or crock pot.  Stir frequently to avoid burning on the bottom.  Makes several quarts and can be frozen in small portions and reheated.  Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
