BEST QUESO IN THE UNIVERSE

THE BEST QUESO IN THE UNIVERSE

This recipe was given to me by a chef named John (I can’t remember his last name) who was the head cook at the Bitterroot Fishing Lodge in Hamilton, Montana. John had previously worked as a camp cook for President George Bush the younger and told me that he always requested this queso when he returned from hunting or fishing.  When I took my first bite, I knew that I could never live my life without this again. Enjoy!

Oklahoma Sausage and Gravy

Tips

 Do not leave this stuff unattended or it will get totally out of hand

I think a cast-iron skillet works best, but use what you have

Remove the skillet from the fire as soon as the half-and-half starts to bubble

Don’t overdo the nutmeg or you will start seeing snakes on the wall

Sift flour in slowly to avoid lumping

Stir often

Be aware the gravy will thicken significantly after you turn the heat off.
