I don’t like to cook but this was really easy. The most difficult thing was dicing the onion. I made half of the recipe and there is enough for 10 people, maybe more. I omitted the chipotle peppers. I used Hatch brand mild green chilies and Hatch mild green enchilada sauce and used Velveeta Queso Blanco. This is the best I’ve ever had.

Yum! Halved the recipe but it still made a lot. Also not a huge fan of processed cheese so I used shredded Monterey Jack and coby jack cheese and it turn turned out great. Will definitely be making again.

I made this for a Cinco de Mayo party. Everyone is still raving about it almost a week later. The only substitution I made was using roasted Hatch green chilies I had in the freezer in place of the canned regular green chilies.

Easy to make. Just the queso taste I was craving.

This was outstanding!!  I made 1/4 of the recipe for a small group of friends who all loved it.  When I read 4 pounds of cheese, I thought it was a mistake until I read the reviews.  I left the chipotle out and substituted Hatch hot green chilies.  My husband is from New Mexico so we have chilies in the freezer that are hotter than I can handle so I gingerly added them tasting so I went.  I agree with the others, this is a great variation from Rotel cheese dip.  Very very good.  Now that I’ve made this I won’t measure next time, just wing it.

I made this on New Year’s Eve and my family LOVED it… I agree with other reviewers, it makes a ton. Half it if you aren’t feeding a crowd or lack a big enough crock pot to fit it in. Also, we heated it up on day 2 and added taco meat and poured it over broccoli:) it was awesome. I could only find the little cans of green chili’s so we used 7 cans. It seems like a lot but it’s not once it comes together.

This recipe is loved by everyone I serve it to. Can dial the heat up or down to your liking. It makes a lot so I half the recipe and still don’t get through all of it.
