Chilli Con Queso

This is my mom's version of the cheese sauce. It's not very mexican, we used to eat it like a cheese fondue with bread and fresh veggies.

Steps

In a medium sauce pan , melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion , and heat until translucent.
Continue cooking over medium heat , and mix in flour and whisk until smooth , and slightly browned.
Gradually add milk while whisking continuously , so to incoprate the milk.
Depending on your burner or the amount of flour you use , you may need anywhere between 1 / 2- 3 / 4 cup of milk.
If after 2-3 minutes of cooking , the mixture is too thin add a little more flour , or vice versa if mixture appears very thick you can add more milk.
It is best to start off with only 1 / 2 cup of liquids and use more as necessary.
When milk is completely incoprated , and the mixture thickens add the cheese.
Continue stirring until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Remove from heat , spring with tomato and pepper and mix.
