Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. -Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico

CHILI CON QUESO DIP (OR ENCHILADA SAUCE)



Chili Con Queso Dip (Or Enchilada Sauce) image

This is a fantastic dip for chips and also makes a wicked sauce for enchiladas! Serve this for your next get together, everyone will LOVE this I promise! Even better, you can use the Mexican blend of Velveeta cheese for this if desired. Use a good-quality mild cheddar cheese such a Cracker Barrel or Black Diamond brand. Adjust the hot sauce to taste. The dip will thicken as it cools, it is best served from a small crockpot to keep warm you could even cook the complete recipe in the crockpot! Since the store-bought canned chili has very little added ground beef, you could always add in more cooked ground beef is desired!

Time 40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces processed cheese block, such as Velveeta, diced
2 ounces freshly shredded sharp Cheddar (about 3/4 cup)
2 ounces freshly shredded Monterey Jack (about 3/4 cup)
