Chipotle Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons each butter and flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a saucepan; whisk over medium heat until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk; cook, whisking, until thick, about 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup grated Colby cheese, 1/4 cup chopped canned green chiles (drained), 1 diced plum tomato and 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce; stir until creamy.

Steps:

• To make the fondue:
• In a bowl toss together cheeses and cornstarch.
• Rub inside of a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan with garlic halves, leaving garlic in pan, and add wine and lemon juice. Bring liquid just to a boil and stir in cheese mixture by handfuls. Bring mixture to a bare simmer over moderate heat, stirring, and stir in kirsch, nutmeg, chilies, and pepper to taste. Transfer fondue to a fondue pot and set over a low flame.
• Stir in fried shallots, scallions, and/or bacon if using and serve fondue with accompaniments for dipping. (Stir fondue often to keep combined.)
• To make the fried shallots:
• In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet cook shallots in oil moderately high heat, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer shallots with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Makes about 2/3 cup.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add onion and saute until translucent.
• Add jalapeno, garlic, and red pepper and saute until soft.
• Add oregano, salt, cumin and chipotle.
• Decrease heat to low, add cream and cream cheese.
• Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in the jack cheese.
• Stir until melted and well incorporated.
• Keep warm on lowest heat.
