Spicy Cheese Bowl

I have made this many, many times to rave reviews. It is a lot of work to make, but your guests or family will forever bug you to make it over and over again. It's a big hit at parties and guests will devour it. Make sure you chop, shred and measure all ingredients in advance. This is not a recipe to chop as you go! It can be a bit tedious to make the first time, but once you get the hang of it, you'll become a pro and your family food critics will give it 5 stars! i found this recipe in the fire and ice cookbook. I have modified it a bit for our tastes and you can always alter the salsa amount and intensity for your tastes as well as the jalapeños. I made it once with swiss cheese, per the recipe and now i only make it with the old cheddar with a bit of mozzarella. Recipe doubles, triples and freezes very well. For parties, i recommend you double it.
