As the next round of grocery shopping looms, the cupboards are getting bare and the fridge moreso empty. I was at a loss as to what to whip up quickly for dinner last night so I threw the following together.
Be warned, this is not healthy in the least, but it was sooooooooooooo good!
1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)
2 tbsp "Mooove over Butter" spread
Bring that up to a steamy temperature over medium heat. Add the following (measurements are guesses ... I just did this off-the-cuff)
1/2 tsp dried cilantro
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced onion (I used the dry ones)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Stir it together. Now add:
1/2 cup sour cream (I used Daisy Light)
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a blend of sharp cheddar, colby and monterey jack)
(again, these are approximates ... nothing was measured)
Here's the funny part. Using a handheld electric mixer, I blended this on medium in the hot pan while on the stove for about two minutes. I did this since the cheeses I use typically end up kind of "grainy" tasting. So I beat the heck outta them!
I had some leftover Velveeta, so I added some of that as well. Not sure home much, maybe 1/2 cup worth. I then used the mixer again in the hot pan on high for about 2 minutes. The texture was smooth. No chunks, no visible particles, just cheese and spices in sight.
Mixed the sauce into 2 1/2 cups of cooked pasta and served (I used shells). It was great!
I'll update this for accuracty and add pictures next time I make it.
