Zesty Cheese Dip

Use strong chips!

Our routine for Sunday night after church is just that: the acronym S.N.A.C. The mid-afternoon meal between church services is usually the biggie. But in the evening, no one wants to prepare a big spread. And with a family of our size, everyone has a different opinion of what to eat. Here is one thing Mom & Dad have been stuck on lately. Natural nacho chips heated in the oven and this cheese stuff.

small onion, chopped

1 or 2 seeded jalapenos, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

2-1/2 cups monterey jack and sharp cheddar cheese

cilantro

In a hot cast iron, skillet saute the onions,  jalapeno, and butter until soft and lightly golden  Add cheese and constantly stir for a minute then turn off the heat. Continue to stir until all the cheese is melted. Top with cilantro and serve with chips. Eat it right out of the pan!

gooey goodness

It's simple, and you can modify or add ingredients to suit your own tastes. The mixture turns out a little slippery and cools off pretty quickly. Sometimes we'll heat it back up on the stove to get it flowing again. This makes plenty for both of us plus some of the 'occasional dippers' who have already finished their S.N.A.C. Enjoy! Please leave comments and suggestions if you tried something different or had any problems with this one.
