Ingredients

butter
6 tbsp
onion, finely diced 
1 small/medium size
garlic, minced
4 cloves
all-purpose flour
4 tbsp
whole milk
1-2 cups
cream cheese
8 oz
shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz
shredded pepperjack
12 oz
jalepeno pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1
salt and pepper
1 tsp
cilantro
to top

Utensils

  • dutch oven
  • large frying pan
  • cheese grater
  • whisk
  • large bowl for serving

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. 

In a dutch oven, sear your top round or round roast on both sides. Add beef stock, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours or until tender.  

In the meantime, add the butter to your pan on medium heat. Let it melt completely and add the onion. Cook it until soft and fragrant. 

Add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant. 

 

Turn the heat to low and slowly add in the flour to create a rue. Whisk to combine. 

Next, add the milk. Slowly whisk it in to avoid clumping. 

Once the milk and flour create a gravy-like consistency - add in your cheeses. 

Continue to stir the cheese to melt completely and at the same time, shred the beef. 

Add the shredded beef to the finished, creamy queso and top with jalapeno and cilantro. Serve with chips and enjoy!
