So I’ve be prepping for Superbowl weekend by trying out various recipes and this one was a hit! You can make it in the slow cooker to keep it warm throughout the game or on the stovetop like I did.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 tbsp Butter
- 1c. Milk
- 1.5 tbsp Flour
- 1/3c. Refried beans
- 4oz. Canned green chilis or jalapenos
- 1.5c shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5c shredded monterey jack cheese
Directions:
- Start by making a base for the cheese with a white roux:
- Melt the butter in the sauce pan on medium heat
- Add flour and whisk vigourously until blended evenly
- Add milk slowly while stirring
- Turn down to medium low and add shredded cheeses one handful at a time, stirring to mix and melt the cheese
- Once cheese is added to the roux and melted, throw in your refried beans and canned green chilis (with liquid)
- Stir until fully combined, about 2-5 minutes.
- Gets some chips and it’s ready to serve!
