Go-to Queso Dip

Queso is one of those recipes I try over and over again.  I’ve tried so many variations and they’ve all been delicious, but as time goes on, I’ve found that one of the simplest recipes is the best and I make it whenever Spud requests queso.

It's equally delicious with chips or fresh veggies!

Note that this is a spicier queso, but that’s how we roll around here.

Recipe Note

If you can’t find Hot Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis, add an additional 4 ounce can of hot diced green chilis
