Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Cups Half And Half
2 Cups Mild Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1 Cup Mateo's Hatch Chile Salsa, Drained in a Fine Mesh Strainer

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium heat until melted. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and cook, while whisking for 2-3 minutes until your roux is the consistency of wet sand with a slightly nutty smell. Drizzle in 1 ½ cups half and half, and bring to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 4-5 minutes, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese until fully incorporated. Add 1 cup Mateo’s Hatch Chile Salsa, and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to marry the flavors. Serve with tortilla chips and extra salsa on the side.
