check the dillons salsa in the deli area.  it comes in a clear plastic tub and is excellent.  it's over by the cheese and stuff.

I put hot Pace salsa in a food processor and liquify.  Pretty good (relatively).

its ok.  the hot is decent.  Problem?  you pull out the chunky goodness and then the last third is backwash salsa water.

i only buy the "hot"

I put hot Pace salsa in a food processor and liquify.  Pretty good (relatively). 
i do that when i make ccq, makes the hot pace like lava.

What is your CCQ recipe?  I really enjoy good ccq but can't get it to be non-clupmpy unlesst he only cheese I use is velveeta.

It sounds gross, but putting cream of mushroom soup in is the super secret way to make good non clumpy ccq. I hate mushrooms and anything related to them but I love ccq with cream of mushroom, salsa, milk and velveeta.

You need to use a roux, so the cheese won't get all stringy and greasy and just weird.

Prolly should have mentioned that this mainly works for mac and cheese, since I'm not entirely sure if it would taste as good in a ccq, but maybe :confused:.  Anyways whenever you make homemade mac and cheese just start with some butter, like a tbsp or two and then mix in equal parts flour and get that thoroughly mixed before you add anything else, such as your cream or whatev. It will thicken the sauce and will keep the cheese at the consistency you want it.  :thumbsup: Seriously dawg, roux's are pretty much the only way to make a cheese based sauce.

sounds like you just made all that up.  a roux?  wtf is that, why not a doux, or a soux, or a boux.  i'll give you an "a" for effort though, even though everyone here knows you made all of it up.

so butter and flour mix keeps regular chunks of, like, cheddar from getting all oily and stringy when melted?  WhyTF wasn't I told this earlier!?

Probabaly should mention that you only want to slightly cook the flour, to take away the floury taste.  I don't think you would want a very dark roux in mac and cheese. (Cajun style mac and cheese? maybe that would be good after all.)  And really watch it cause it goes from tan to black (burnt) really quickly.  And then you have to start all over.  Watch "Good Eats" on the Food Network.  Alton Brown talks abouts rouxs like every other episode.

Carlos O'Kellys puts sour cream in their queso.  Makes it creamy.  So if you like their dip, then there you are.

Redic stuff here, really redic. Next you'll prob try and say that the asian lady at the BB&B  is also a "character"  and that she's played by former football player turned actor Alex Karras. Webster's dad is the asian lady. Whatever Steve, whatever.

homemade salsa recipe, :lick:

7-8 Roma Tomatoes
4-5 green onions out of a bunch
4-8 jalapenos or habaneros (pending spiceyness tolerance)
1 bunch of cilantro
tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
lime juice (i usually use one entire lime)

chop up all ingredients, put into food processor or blender (blend to chunkiness desired), top with a little garlic powder.  and there you have it,   :cheers:

there is a white cheese that comes wrapped up in a ball like Motz that I've seen in the mexican section at Price chopper.  It's not Mont. Jack.  I wonder if that's what they use?

I've wondered the same thing many times.

Check to see if it is Asadero or Chihuahua.  Those seem to be the main cheeses used in queso blanco, along with mont. jack.  Also, a mixture of any or all of the three is yummy.
