cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Saute one large chopped onion in bacon fat over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Add one can of tomatoes and green chilis to the sautéed onion and mix well.

Stir in 2 pounds of processed American cheese until melted and gooey, mixing with the tomatoes and green chilis.

Keep the queso warm in a crockpot or use a double boiler method by placing a glass bowl with queso in a pot of water.

Stir the queso occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top before serving.

Serve with chips for dipping.
