Joe’s Spicy Spinach Queso

Joe's Spicy Spinach Queso CeceliasGoodStuff.com | Good Food for Good People

I recently canned a bunch of fresh roasted green chiles and gave some to my neighbor’s Beth and Joe. They graciously thanked me and told me what they were going to make with the green chile. She referred to it as Joe’s vegetarian spinach queso. What she described was something very similar to this recipe. A one pot vegetarian dinner with spinach, black beans, onions, and topped with shredded Mexican cheese. It is broiled in the oven to melt the cheese. Serve the queso with tortilla chips or fresh cut veggies and you have a one pot dinner. This dish would also make a great appetizer.

Serves 8
It is green chile season in the Land of Enchantment. Everywhere you turn stores are roasting the fall harvest of Hatch green chiles. So to take advantage of the fresh crop I am canning roasted green chiles and making green chile sauce for the year ahead. I canned a few jars and gave one to my neighbor Beth. She then tells me exactly how she was going to use it. She described something similar to this recipe. I added a few ingredients and then named it after her husband Joe because it is his easy "go-to" Vegetarian Dinner. I must say - it is sensational! Here's hoping you love it too. Enjoy!

For this recipe I used “hot” Hatch green chiles but you could easily use mild or medium chiles. I made it as a one pot dinner for my family of three. (Two of which are teenagers, so there was not a morsel left in the pan.) The recipe should feed about 4 – 6 for a light dinner option.

Joe's Spicy Spinach Queso

This is so good that I made it twice in one week for dinner! You can use pinto beans or black beans. I made it both ways and there were both great! If you want more protein you can add shredded roast chicken or cooked ground beef. I have made it several times and changed it up a bit. For my “Gluten Free Friends” this is a great one pot dinner option! If you are lucky enough to have left overs it does heat up well in the microwave or you can pop it back under the broiler for a few minutes, just be careful not to burn the cheese.

Looking for a healthy option? Try serving it with fresh cut veggies like bell peppers, celery, cucumbers, and carrots. You need some firm veggies to scoop this hefty dip!
