Celebrating a chilly (chili?) day . . .

Although we have a break in the rain today, more is on the way. The temperatures turned a lot of the rain into hail, yesterday, which made it seem even colder and vastly annoyed out dog!

As usual, when it is too cold to venture out, my thought turn to keeping family warm, inside and out. This is a favorite recipe that is warming and brings everyone around the table for a light lunch or just a splurge of a snack on a dismal day.

Chili Cheese Fondue

1 small onion, chopped
2 T. butter
1 8-oz. can tomatoes, drained
1 4-ounce can diced, green chili
2 Tablespoon chili sauce
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 lb. processed American cheese cubes

Saute onion in butter in pot. until golden. Add tomatoes and peppers. Mix cornstarch in chili sauce and heat at medium. Add cheese by thirds, stirring well after each addition. Serve with French bread, crackers,
corn chips, etc.
