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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the whole milk. Stir continuously to combine and warm the mixture evenly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once the cheese has fully melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to gently simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through, but avoid boiling.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer the Rinktum Ditty to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired, for color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm with crackers, crusty bread, or your preferred vegetables for dipping. Enjoy this creamy, comforting dish immediately!
