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

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Then stir in the salt. Taste test and add more salt if needed. The cheese sauce will thicken as it sits as well.
