List of Ingredients




Butter (for 2 Tbsp.)
Onion (1, large and sweet)
Hot Salsa (for at least 1 cup)
1 pound processed American Cheese (buy it shredded to save time)
Yogurt or Buttermilk (for 1/2 cup)
Bell Peppers (3 - red, yellow, and green are nice)
Corn Chips (a 12-oz. bag, at least - but you know your audience better than we do!)


Recipe



Melt the butter and chop the onion; sauté the onion for five minutes or so, until it's soft. Stir in the salsa and bring just to the boil, then remove from heat.

Off the burner, stir in the shredded cheese, then blend in the buttermilk or yogurt.

Now, either return to the stove over quite low heat and stir until just heated through - or place right over bottom heat of some sort, like a warming tray or a candle warmer. In either case, keep warm but never boiling until time to serve.

Serve with bell pepper strips and corn chips. (If you like, suggest to your guests that "chips and strips" might sound just a little like "stars and stripes" - or not!)

At any rate, you'll all be enjoying an appetizer worthy of a free people, and complimenting our neighbors to the south as well!
