Ready to learn how to make Queso Fundido? Begin by heating a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a heavy bottomed skillet and add the onions. Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, letting them sit and caramelize on the bottom. Then add the sea salt and stir. Let sit another 5 minutes, stir, wait another 5 minutes and stir again. Repeat this process until all the onions are a golden brown.

Next, pour the beer in the skillet and deglaze the bottom, scraping any browned bits off. Once the liquid is dissolved, remove the onions to a bowl and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and turn heat to medium high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Combine the shredded Cabot Monterey Jack cheese and Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar. Spread half of the cheese in an even layer on the bottom of a clean 10” cast iron skillet. Top with ¾ of the caramelized onions, ¾ of the sausage and then the remaining cheese. Spread the sauerkraut over the top, followed by the remaining onions and sausage.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese in the center is melted. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the spicy deli mustard. Serve hot with Pretzel Crisps and enjoy!
