Chile Con Queso

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 green onions, minced (white and green parts)
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
chopped cilantro for garnish
tortilla chips for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the green onions and poblano pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes, until tender.
In a 1-quart casserole, combine the green onion mixture, cumin, tomato, diced chiles, jalapeno, cream cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. (At this point the casserole can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Add five minutes to the bake time.)
Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
Serves 10.
