Steps:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the chorizo. Using a wooden spoon to break it apart, cook until it is browned and in small crumbles, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a paper-towel lined plate to drain some of the excess grease.
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Stir in the peppers, onions and garlic. Season with the salt and pepper. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 to 6 minutes. Slowly stream in 1 cup of the half and half, whisking the entire time.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup half and half and cornstarch until no lumps remain to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook for a minute until the milk thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in the grated cheese, one small handful at a time, until melted. Stir in the pumpkin until combined. Transfer the mixture to a crock, larger bowl or a small crockpot with the heat on low.
- Spoon the chorizo on top of the queso, along with the pepitas, cilantro, peppers and a sprinkling of cotija cheese. Serve immediately with chips!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the chorizo in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it renders, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, serrano and garlic and continue cooking until the chorizo is crisp and the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and transfer to a bowl. Toss the cheeses with the flour in a separate bowl.
- Add the beer to the skillet, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Whisking constantly, add the cheese mixture a little bit at a time, whisking until smooth and well blended. Stir in the beans, chiles and chorizo mixture.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook until the queso is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Garnish with scallions and tomato and serve with tortilla chips.
PUMPKIN QUESO
I like serving this pumpkin queso with veggie chips like sweet potato or kale, but it's also great with good old tortilla chips. It can be made with vegetable stock and gluten-free flour if you have dietary restrictions. —Darla Andrews, Schertz, Texas

Steps:
- For the charred poblanos and sides: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the poblanos directly on top of the burner on high heat, turning with tongs until completely charred black, about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with a dish towel for 10 minutes. Rub off the skin with your hands or a paper towel, remove the seeds and cut into strips. Reserve. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onions, sprinkle with salt and saute until caramelized, stirring often, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve. Meanwhile, halve the fingerling potatoes and toss in a bowl with olive oil, half of the thyme, the rosemary and half of the garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet at until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Toss the grape tomatoes with olive oil, salt, the sugar, the remaining 2 sprigs thyme and half head garlic and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Roast on a baking sheet until softened and beginning to char, 15 to 20 minutes. For the queso fundido: Increase the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat, and then stir in the flour and cook, 2 minutes. Add the milk and cook until thickened, whisking occasionally, 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cheeses and combine well. The mixture will be dough-like; it won't get oozy until it gets in the oven. Transfer the mixture to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or shallow baking dish, and spread evenly. Bake 6 minutes, stir and bake another 6 minutes, then stir again. Put under the broiler until the cheese is browned in spots. Serve immediately with the dipping sides of the roasted poblanos, caramelized onions, roasted fingerlings and tomatoes, gherkins, slices of baguette and dried sausage. Cook's Note: If you don't have a gas burner, you can char your poblanos under the broiler as well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice off the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and pulp. I like to save the seeds for roasting and discard the pulp.
- Place the pumpkin and its lid on a microwave-safe plate, pour 1 tablespoon of water inside, then microwave for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Let the pumpkin cool slightly, then move to a baking dish.
- In a medium pot, cook the diced smoked turkey and diced jalapeno in the olive oil over medium heat until the jalapeno is beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the green chiles, cayenne, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pot, stirring to coat the turkey and peppers and cook until the flour is just toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and wine. Bring to a simmer and stir until smooth.
- With the mixture just barely simmering, whisk the cheeses into the broth, about ½ cup at a time, waiting for the cheese to melt before adding more.
- When all the cheese has been incorporated and the dip is smooth, ladle the cheese dip into the pumpkin in the baking dish.
- Bake the pumpkin with its lid on for 10 minutes.
- Serve with tortilla chips. Be sure to scoop some pumpkin along with the cheese dip.
