I just made heaven . . .

Ok - get three dried anchos (dried poblano peppers in the Mexican section)
Get 2 dried New Mexico Chili Peppers

Boil till soft

Deseed and destem them

toss in blender


Put a can of rotel (habernero kind)
about 4 ounces of water

Puree. . . .

Press through strainer (you don't wan't poblano skins, they are kinda bitter)

You have a sauce that resembles the consistency of ketchup now

Add half a block of velveeta. . .

1 teaspoon of chili powder (for a tiny little more kick)

Melt

Stir

Eat on chips or whatever



MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Sounds like a good snack for the Giants game tonight.

Sounds good. One of my favorite dips is velveta and rotel green chiles/tomatoes, add some sausage if you like.

Can we substitute chipotle peppers for the anchos? Everything is better when you put chipotle in it.

I dunno. I know the chipolte is basically dried jalepeno.

In my recipe the Anchos give it a 'smokey sweet flavor' and the 'new mexico chili peppers' give it the heat.

Give it a try and report back. . .

Why would you boil them?

They are dried out stiff as a board. . .that way you can decore them and remove the stem, seed easier, and much easier to puree. . .

And I hope they CHOKE on it.

Why go through all of that trouble? Just use your favorite hot sauce.

EDIT: And Spidey is right for once. Add some sausage.

Just cut the stem off and shake the seeds out. As for pureeing... the blender turns them into powder anyway.

By doing that, you are removing flavor and heat from the pepper. GJ.
