                                          • Preheat convection oven to 400 °F.
                                          • Measure spices into a small bowl: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
                                          • In a large bowl, add the mushrooms and drizzle with oil; toss well. Season the mushrooms with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
                                          • Add the prepared mushrooms in a single layer onto parchment lined 18” x 26” sheet pans.
                                            For 50 servings, use two sheet pans.
                                            For 100 servings, use three sheet pans.
                                          • Roast the mushrooms in a 400 °F convection oven with the fan on for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and chop into small pieces using a food processor. Hold hot until ready to add to the queso.
                                            Critical Control Point: Hold hot at 135 °F or higher.
                                          • Warm the milk in a pot on low heat. Heat to 135 °F or higher.
                                            Critical Control Point: Hold hot at 135 °F or higher.

                                          • Melt margarine over medium heat in a large pot.
                                          • Using a wooden spoon, whisk, or heat-safe rubber spatula, stir in the flour until well incorporated and smooth.
                                          • Gradually add the warm milk to the flour/butter mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly with a whisk for 10-15 minutes breaking up the clumps as needed.
                                          • Reduce the heat to medium low, add cheese, and mix well with a wooden spoon or heat-safe rubber spatula until melted and fully incorporated.
                                          • Add roasted, chopped mushrooms and mix well.
                                          • Transfer to a 20” x 12” x 4” pan for service.
                                            Critical Control Point: Heat to 135 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds. Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          • Serve ½ cup, portion with No. 8 scoop or 4 oz ladle in a cup or over 2 oz of tortilla chips.

                                          *See Marketing Guide for purchasing information on foods that will change during preparation or when a variation of the ingredients is available.
                                          Serving Suggestions: Pair queso with vegetables, meat, or remove the chips and use as a  topping for tacos. Garnish with chili powder if desired.
                                          Note: if using pre-shredded cheese, reduce the margarine and flour by 10% to prevent a  thicker consistency from the starch.
