Creamy spinach queso dip, a decadent appetizer perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper - seeded, membranes discarded, and pepper chopped
  • 1.5 pounds pepperjack cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
  • In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter. Sauté onion until translucent for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant for about 1 minute. Mix in red bell pepper and jalapeno pepper; continue cooking until softened for about 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and combine pepperjack cheese and spinach with the onion mixture; stir constantly until the cheese is melted and the mixture thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually add evaporated milk to the cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until reaching the desired consistency; season with salt. Keep stirring over low heat until warmed through, for at least 5 more minutes.
