1/2 pound Ground Chorizo Sausage
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
2 Jalapeno Peppers
1/2 Sweet Onion, Diced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1-1/2 cup Half-and-Half, Divided
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
16 ounces, weight Sharp, White Cheddar Cheese, Freshly Grated
8 ounces, weight Monterey Jack Cheese, Freshly Grated
Fresh Cilantro, For Topping
Chopped Tomatoes, For Topping
Sliced Jalapenos, For Topping
Tortilla Chips, To Serve
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add sausage. Sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it down with a wooden spoon, until the fat has rendered and the sausage is browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain any excess grease.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Stir in the peppers, onions and garlic. Season with the salt and pepper. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 to 6 minutes. Slowly stream in 1 cup of the half-and-half, whisking the entire time. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and cornstarch until no lumps remain to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook for a minute until the milk thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the grated cheese, one small handful at a time, until melted. Place the sausage in a crock, larger bowl or a small crockpot heating on low. Pour the melted cheese over top. Top with tomatoes, jalapeƱos and fresh cilantro if you'd like. Serve immediately with chips!
