Bacon & Caramelized Onion Queso Fundido is like a gooey, cheesy bowl of everything that makes food awesome! Get ready to share, no one can resist this dip!
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, turning once, until crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble bacon; set aside.
Pour all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the skillet.
Increase heat to medium-high and add onion. Stir onion in bacon fat until well coated. Cook onion for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until onions have caramelized.
Add jalapeno and sun dried tomato to skillet, and stir to combine. Add beer. Cook until beer has been completely absorbed by vegetables, stirring often.
Add cheese to skillet, and decrease heat to medium-low. Stir in cheese until just melted. (If you over heat the cheese it will become tough and oily.) The queso will be a little stringy, in a good way.
Transfer queso to a serving dish. Top with bacon and cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
