CRAWFISH QUESO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; add onion and minced jalapeños, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low; add crawfish, cheese dip, green chiles, milk, hot sauce, and vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese dip is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.

CRAWFISH QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large frying pan or Dutch oven. Add garlic, crawfish meat, and Old Bay. Sauté until heated through.
• Next, add cream cheese and stir over med-high heat until cheese is melted. Stir in Ro*Tel tomatoes with juice. **I recommend stopping here and letting the flavors develop overnight in the refrigerator.**
• Just before you are ready to serve the dip, add the Velveeta cubes to the cream cheese mixture and heat through until Velveeta is melted and incorporated. Pour into a low heat crock-pot and enjoy with tortilla chips.

QUESO DIP WITH CRAWFISH (SPICY)

Steps:

• ~Iused my crockpot for this~.
• Cube the cheese to make melting easier.
• Cut the end off each pepper and push the seeds out with the flat portion of a knife then dice finely.
• If crawfish meat portions are too large, cut into smaller pieces.
• Put all ingredients into crockpot including the adobe sauce from your peppers, stir frequently to allow all to melt and blend.
• I served with multi colored tortilla chips.
• The chipotle pepper is very spicy so you may want to omit the chili powder or cut back on the number of peppers if you do not like it spicy.
• *Thestore brand of Velveta works very well and the crawfish amount is just over a cup and I am sure you can use fresh as well.
• This is also easy to make in the microwave but making it in a crockpot you can serve it in it as well keeping the dip warm.
