I thought I would post this recipe that is
great for tailgating, home, or perhaps at a bar. I’ve gotten inspired with this
recipe when it came to eating “Cowboy” Nachos. The first time I’ve made it, I
used all jar foods. This time, I’m just going to switch things up with a
homemade Queso cheese. If you want to use jar Queso-Blanco dip, that is fine.
Skip this step. But before you do anything, take a cast iron skillet and place
it in the oven for 250 degrees. If you
do not have a cast iron skillet, you can use a baking pan.
Zesty Queso Sauce
1 cup of
heavy whipping cream
4 slices of
Colby-Pepper Jack Cheese
1 block of Jalapeño
Mexican dipping cheese
¼ Block of Queso,
Quesadilla Cheese.
1. 4.25 oz.
can of Green Chiles.
1 teaspoon
of crushed black pepper.
1 teaspoon
of Chili powder.
1
tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon
of your favorite hot sauce
In a medium pot, pour your cream. Add in your Chiles,
seasoning, and give it a stir. Once your cream is warm, stir it up so that it’s
not foaming or bubbling. Next, add in your cut up cheeses, and let it sit for a
while so that it can melt. Continue to stir until it has fully melted. If it
appears to be thick, add more cream. Next, add in a tablespoon of your favorite
hot sauce, and the Worcestershire sauce. Stir it well. When the cheese is done,
set aside off the heat to avoid thickening.
Chicken
What also comes with this is chicken. You can grill your own
chicken breast /thigh meat if you want to, but I simply just use frozen, Tyson
Fajita Chicken. Place the chicken in a pan, and allow them to cook as directed
on the package. For a quick method, heat them in the microwave.
Bacon
Take five slices of bacon, and cook those in a medium-hot
pan. You can cook the bacon however you would like to. In my opinion, I usually
cook it to where it’s cooked all the way, but still soft and chewy. When the
bacon is done, chop it up, and set aside.
Fries
You can use steak fries, regular fries, or golden crinkles.
I enjoy the Ore-Ida Golden Crinkles, extra crispy. Fry one bag full in a deep
fryer according to package. When the
fries are done, drain them on a paper towel. When they are drained, season your
fries with season salt and red chili powder. (In the future, I will give my
French fry seasoning.)
Once everything is all cooked, take your cast-iron skillet
out of the oven.
Putting it all
together
Step One: Coat a thin layer of your Queso sauce at the
bottom of the skillet.
Step Two: put an even layer of fries on top of the Queso.
Step Three: layer your fries with chicken and the bacon.
Step Four: Top it off with shredded Mexican-Four Cheese.
Step Five: Place your skillet back in the oven for five
minutes, or until your cheese is melted.
Step Six: Top it off with chopped green onions, and sour cream.
Enjoy them plain, or with your favorite condiment.
Happy Cooking!!
