Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the softened onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour. This will form a roux.
Gradually stir in the canned diced tomatoes, including the juices, and mix well with the roux. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the whole milk. Stir continuously to combine and warm the mixture evenly.
Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, a handful at a time, stirring constantly to melt and incorporate the cheese into the sauce. Be patient to ensure a creamy texture without clumping.
Once the cheese has fully melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Allow the mixture to gently simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through, but avoid boiling.
Remove from heat and transfer the Rinktum Ditty to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired, for color and flavor.
Serve warm with crackers, crusty bread, or your preferred vegetables for dipping. Enjoy this creamy, comforting dish immediately!
