Queso Flameado Recipe (Queso Fundido)
Queso Flameado Recipe (Queso Fundido) Queso Flameado is gooey cheese in a sizzling hot skillet infused with chorizo's rich, smoky flavors and vibrant fresh cilantro leaves, served with flour tortillas! CourseAppetizers CuisineMexican, Tex-Mex Prep Time5minutes minutes Cook Time20minutes minutes Total Time25minutes minutes 开云体育s6 Calories443kcal AuthorMichele Ingredients 1 pound chorizo 16 ounces shredded chihuahua cheese (or Oaxaca, Monterrey Jack, or mozzarella) 1 tablespoon cilantro Optional sides: tortillas, chips, salsa, guacamole Instructions Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the Chorizo: In a large oven-safe skillet (like cast iron), cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease, leaving a small amount to keep the chorizo moist and flavorful. Layer the Cheese: Spread the cooked chorizo evenly across the bottom of the skillet. You can reserve a tablespoon to add to the top before serving. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of the chorizo, covering it completely. Bake the Queso Flameado: Transfer the dish or skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Broil for a Golden Top (Optional): If desired, broil the queso fundido on high for 1–2 minutes to create a golden, bubbly top. Watch closely to prevent burning. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and spread the remaining chorizo over the cheese, then sprinkle with the cilantro for a fresh touch. Serve: Serve the queso fundido immediately with warm tortillas, tortilla chips, guacamole, or salsa on the side. Video Notes Storing Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently to maintain texture.Nutrition Calories: 443kcal | Carbohydrates: 2g | Protein: 29g | Fat: 34g | Saturated Fat: 17g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g | Monounsaturated Fat: 5g | Cholesterol: 107mg | Sodium: 475mg | Potassium: 58mg | Fiber: 0.002g | Sugar: 1g | Vitamin A: 786IU | Vitamin C: 0.02mg | Calcium: 382mg | Iron: 2mg Source: Flavor Mosaic ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Instant Pot Broccoli Cheese Chicken And Rice Casserole
Instant Pot Broccoli Cheese Chicken And Rice Casserole Instant Pot Broccoli Cheese Chicken And Rice Casserole is creamy cheesy comfort food made with chicken, broccoli, rice and cheese, but made in the Instant Pot for a quick and easy one-pot meal. CourseMain Dishes CuisineAmerican, Southern Prep Time5minutes minutes Cook Time10minutes minutes Pressurization Time10minutes minutes Total Time20minutes minutes 开云体育s6 Calories543kcal AuthorMichele @ Flavor Mosaic Equipment 6-Quart Instant Pot Duo60 from Amazon.com (affiliate link) Ingredients Add BEFORE Pressure Cooking 2 Tablespoons oil 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (See Note Below) 1 onion (chopped) 2 cloves garlic (minced) salt and pepper to taste 1/2 packet ranch seasoning mix 1-1/2 cups white rice (See Note Below) 2-1/2 cups chicken broth 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Add AFTER Pressure Cooking 1/2 cup milk 2 Tablespoons flour 1-1/2 cups frozen broccoli (See Note Below) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Instructions Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot. Wait until the front of the Instant Pot says "Hot," then add oil. When oil is hot, add the chicken breast cubes and chopped onion. Cook until the chicken is mostly white instead of pink and the onion is softened, about 3 – 4 minutes. Then add a tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for about a minute. Add the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the pot with a spatula to remove any food particles to prevent them from scorching. Add the uncooked white rice, and stir. Then add salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning mix. Do not stir. Press cancel to stop the sauté function. Secure the lid. Move the pressure valve to the sealing position. Press the pressure cook button or manual cook button, select high pressure, and adjust the time to pressure cook for 5 minutes. (It will take about 8 – 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure before the pressure cooking starts.) While the Chicken and Rice are cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the milk and flour to make a slurry. Set aside until after the chicken and rice have finished pressure cooking. While the chicken and rice are cooking, run hot water over the frozen broccoli to thaw. Drain the broccoli. After the Instant Pot has finished the pressure cooking cycle, let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes and then, using a long-handled spoon move the pressure valve to the venting position, to do a quick release of pressure. Wait for the pin to drop. Then carefully, remove the lid. Immediately pour the milk and flour slurry into the chicken and rice mixture and stir. Add the thawed broccoli to the chicken and rice. Add the shredded cheese to the Broccoli Cheese Chicken And Rice Casserole. Stir everything together until it is well combined and the broccoli and cheese have been evenly distributed throughout the chicken and rice mixture. Notes Use either chicken breasts or chicken thighs as long as they are boneless and skinless and cut into cubes. I recommend rinsing the rice before adding to the Instant Pot. I have experienced better results with the texture of the rice when I have done that. To use brown rice instead of white rice, increase time to 8 minutes and increase the water by 1/4 cup for each 1 cup of brown rice. I used frozen broccoli. Before adding the broccoli to the casserole, rinse the broccoli in hot water to thaw. Don’t add broccoli at the same time as the chicken it will overcook. Add broccoli only after the chicken and rice have finished cooking. The heat of the chicken and rice mixture will heat the broccoli and melt the cheese. To avoid getting the “Burn” message, be sure to deglaze the pot after browning the chicken and cooking the garlic by adding the liquid and scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any food particles that might scorch. Add the seasonings in the order specified but do not stir. This will also help to prevent receiving the Burn notice.Nutrition Calories: 543kcal | Carbohydrates: 47g | Protein: 39g | Fat: 21g | Saturated Fat: 9g | Cholesterol: 114mg | Sodium: 83

Bacon and Cheese Quiche
Bacon and Cheese Quiche Savory and simple bacon and cheese quiche is the perfect hot breakfast to start the day - prep in 10 minutes then bake! Prep Time10minutes mins Cook Time50minutes mins Total Time1hour hr Course: Breakfast, Main Course Cuisine: American 开云体育s: 6 people Author: Lil' Luna Equipment pie plate pie server Ingredients 1 pie crust, softened as directed on the box 1 cup milk 4 eggs, slightly beaten ? teaspoon salt ? teaspoon pepper 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled ? cup cheddar cheese, shredded ? cup mozzarella cheese ? cup parmesan cheese, grated Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust in a shallow 9-inch glass pie plate. Double-fold the edges of the crust and crimp. Add 8 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon and cheese to the bottom of the pie crust. In a medium bowl, mix milk, slightly beaten eggs, salt, and pepper, then pour over the bacon and cheese. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife, inserted in the center, comes out clean. Let set for 5-10 minutes before cutting. Notes Recipe Tips. Partially baking the crust before adding the filling can help keep the crust from getting soggy; line it with parchment paper, fill it with pie weights, and bake for 13-15 minutes. For the quiche to be rich and creamy, I highly recommend using whole milk or half and half. Overcooking can cause the eggs to be rubbery. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly, and the edges should be golden brown. Prep ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and store the uncooked quiche in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and give it a gentle stir before baking. Store Store leftover quiche in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.Nutrition Calories: 406kcal | Carbohydrates: 17g | Protein: 17g | Fat: 30g | Saturated Fat: 12g | Cholesterol: 154mg | Sodium: 672mg | Potassium: 196mg | Fiber: 1g | Sugar: 2g | Vitamin A: 436IU | Calcium: 249mg | Iron: 2mg Source: Lil Luna ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Chicken Bacon Ranch Wonton Cups
Chicken Bacon Ranch Wonton Cups Chicken, bacon, and ranch seasoning create one of my favorite flavor combos! Consequently, I put the three together and packed them into adorable wonton cups to make these tasty Chicken Bacon Ranch Wonton Cups. They are a delicious yet simple appetizer recipe you'll love for entertaining. CourseAppetizer, Snack CuisineAmerican Keywordbacon, chicken, ranch, wonton Prep Time15minutes minutes Cook Time23minutes minutes Total Time38minutes minutes 开云体育s24 Calories113kcal Equipment mixing bowls mini muffin baking pan spatula Ingredients 24 wonton wrappers 1 cup chopped cooked chicken 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup Buttermilk Ranch Heluva Good! Dip plus more to garnish 1/3 cup chopped red pepper 2 green onions sliced salt and pepper to taste chopped parsley to garnish Instructions Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Gently press the wonton wrappers into the mini muffin pan. Bake until the edges of the wontons just start to brown: about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. In a large bowl add the chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, Buttermilk Ranch Heluva Good! Dip, red pepper, green onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a spatula to combine. Add a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture to each wonton cup. Return the pan of filled wontons to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes or until the wontons are evenly brown. Garnish with a dollop of Buttermilk Ranch Heluva Good! Dip and chopped parsley. Serve immediately. Notes Pressing the wonton wrappers into the mini muffin pans can be a bit tricky. If you attempt to just press the wonton wrapper into the cup, it’s going to tear. You want to pinch the wrapper together into a flower shape, insert it into the baking cup, and then gently press it into place. With this method, I had no tears. (Please view the blog post for a photo demonstration.) I found it easiest to add the garnish of ranch dip by using a piping bag (or plastic baggie with the corner cut off). This method is much easier than portioning it off with a spoon. If you don't have access to Buttermilk Ranch Heluva Good! Dip you can make your own. Combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and about 1.5 tablespoons of ranch seasoning mix. Stir to combine.Nutrition Calories: 113kcal | Carbohydrates: 5g | Protein: 4g | Fat: 8g | Saturated Fat: 4g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g | Monounsaturated Fat: 3g | Trans Fat: 1g | Cholesterol: 14mg | Sodium: 143mg | Potassium: 41mg | Fiber: 1g | Sugar: 1g | Vitamin A: 125IU | Vitamin C: 3mg | Calcium: 52mg | Iron: 1mg Source: Inspired by Charm ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO
