Delicious!
Grill veggies ahead of making the dip.
Use block cheese, not dairy case slices
Serve with spicy corn chips.

I live where the La Paz Cantina is located. This is just as good. However I sauté all of the vegetables and broil a large poblano chile, then peel and chop it rather than using canned chiles. You have to use white American cheese
Followed recipe, but cheese and milk in double boiler and once it melted it was lumpy. Not sure if milk curdled or if it was cheese. Just regular Kraft American Singles. Not sure what went wrong. I’m at high altitude, maybe that was the cause. Wish I could have got it to come out smooth. 🙁
I like that it didn’t get that cheese-skin that quesos often have, but there was something missing that I just couldn’t put my finger on. I made the recipe as directed. Maybe next time I’ll double the veggies & saute them before I add them to the cheese.
Mmmm! Delicious. Definitely will be making this again!! i used white cheddar instead of american so next time im going to use heavy cream instead of the milk to make it creamier. Also, like others said, i am going to cook the veggies before hand.
This was a huge hit at the 4th of July gathering! I doubled the recipe and there was only about a cup of cheese left at the end of the day that people were arguing over. You definitely need to cook the veg ahead and I added chipotle powder to add a bit more depth of flavor.
Love it. I added A roasted Chile Arbols Salsa that I made, and roasted all of my veggies. Heavily garnished it wth Cilantro. and lime on the chips
I made this recipe based on previous comments/reviews. It was excellent. Kids loved it too and I prefer these ingredients vs. the queso recipes that utilize processed cheese whiz. Next time, I will substitute Rotelle for the plain canned tomatoes.
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!! What a great and simple recipe, I will definitely make this many times over. I also followed the suggestion to sautee the peppers, onions, and garlic and I am so pleased with the outcome!
