Panchos Cheese Dip

Features:

    This didn't do it for me. There was a sweet undertaste that I didn't find appealing. I cut the ingredients in half and still filled my 3 quart casserole so I can't imagine how many people it would take to finish off the whole recipe. Also, my batch was never at any time thick in consistency, but rather thin in fact.

    Pancho’s Cheese Dip, For many, many years, there was only one Mexican restaurant in town For ‘starters’, they placed a big bowl of tostados on the table, along with a very commonplace tomato salsa — and an absolutely fabulous cheese dip Everybody wanted the recipe, but it was a closely-guarded secret After the Tex-Mex craze hit and this restaurant started marketing a plastic version of their wonderful dip, I obtained the original recipe by nefarious means 🙂 Please do not be put off by the fact that it’s based on Velveeta This is ‘cheese food’ raised to a new level Addictive! May I add that it is (quite literally) impossible for a cheese dish with such strong savory seasonings to have a ‘sweet’ undertone And it’s so thick you won’t believe When you rate 7 recipes and give 6 of them 1*, one wonders , This didn’t do it for me There was a sweet undertaste that I didn’t find appealing I cut the ingredients in half and still filled my 3 quart casserole so I can’t imagine how many people it would take to finish off the whole recipe Also, my batch was never at any time thick in consistency, but rather thin in fact , Great dip!!!!! Because it is just the 2 of us, I cut this recipe down and it still made a pretty large amount of dip We ate the dip with chips and then a couple of days later, I cooked some macaroni and added to what was left and it made a great side dish I will use this recipe again It is the perfect dish for when having guest over!!!!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Measure First 4 Ingredients Into a Small Bowl, Stirring Well to Mix.

    2
    Done

    (note: as Tastes Have Changed Over the Years, I Have Gradually Decreased the Accent Slightly, Measuring a Scant Tablespoon So It Won't Be Too Salty.) Pour 1 Can of Tomatoes, Including Juice, Into the Bowl of a Food Processor.

    3
    Done

    Add 2 Tablespoons of Spice Mixture and 5- 6 Slices of Pickled Jalapenos.

    4
    Done

    Pulse on and Off Briefly Several Times Until Ingredients Are Well-Mixed and Tomatoes Are Broken Into Small Pieces but Still Retain Some Texture.

    5
    Done

    (it Should Look Like a Thick Salsa.) Pour Tomato Mixture Into a Medium Saucepan.

    6
    Done

    Repeat With Remaining Can of Tomatoes, Remaining Spices, and Additional Slices of Jalapenos, Adding Mixture to the Saucepan After Processing.

    7
    Done

    If Your Food Processor Can Handle It, Grate Cheese and Then Put in a Large Pot or Dutch Oven; If not, Chop Cheese Coarsely by Hand.

    8
    Done

    (a Cuisinart Makes It Easier, but It Doesn't Affect the Final Outcome.) Cook Tomato Mixture Over Medium Heat, Stirring Frequently; Bring Just to the Boiling Point, but Do not Allow to Boil!

    9
    Done

    the Instant the First Bubble Breaks the Surface, Remove from Heat and Pour Over Cheese.

    10
    Done

    Stir Well, Until Cheese Seems to Have Melted as Much as It's Going to (which Won't Be Much-- It Will Still Be Extremely Lumpy).

    11
    Done

    Using a Ladle (or a Coffee Mug), Pour Approximately 3 Cups of the Mixture Into the Food Processor Bowl.

    12
    Done

    Process Approximately 20-30 Seconds, Until Mixture Is Smooth.

    13
    Done

    Remove Lid from Processor Bowl and Taste For'heat' and Consistency.

    14
    Done

    If It Is not as Hot as You'd Like, Add a Few More Jalapeno Slices.

    15
    Done

    It Will Be Waaaay Too Thick, So Add Water (several Tablespoons at a Time), Processing Briefly After Each Addition, Until It Is the Proper Consistency.
