Chili Con Queso

[cougars_catnip]

I am from Texas and back home one of our favorite snacks is a big hot bowl of Chili con Queso. Serve with tortilla chips and a glass of cold Sangria and you have heaven in a bowl. :D

I was drawn to your post because I recently attempted my own queso flameado at home. In fact, the recipe I have, and used, from the link below, is identical, including the instructions, to the one you posted above. I'm curious whether you are the owner of the blog ... homesicktexan.

The chorizo recipe is also there.

Perhaps you might have posted some pictures of the last time you made this. :)

No, I am not the blog owner, just another homesick Texan myself. And yes, I learned how to make that from Lisa. Her recipes are awesome aren't they?

Yes they are. :)

Do you do anything to the queso flameado recipe to get it to stay liquid longer? The stuff you get in restaurants doesn't harden into cement as soon as it cools just a bit as this does. I was hoping for some new insights when I read your post.

Yes I do. I have this tiny little crock pot that is just for sauces. And I use that. Another way is to use a fondu pot with a heat source. you could put the pot on a heating pad. And if all else fails stand around the stove like a heathen and eat right there at the counter. :grin:
