Don's Queso Dip

My dad started this recipe in our family. I grew up making it with my dad and after his death i have continued to make it. I have tweaked it to suit my family. Great to make for the superbowl or a casual get together. All the spices are to taste. The measurements below are estimates, i rarely measure. Feel free to cut back on the jalepeno if you don't like your food spicy. Also, instead of just plain ground beef, i have made it using left-over chili, just cut back on the spices then.use more or less milk to make cheese as thin/thick as you like, keep in mind the salsa will thin it out. You can use pepper jack velveeta if you cannot find the mexican style. Also, leftover chili or 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb chorizo instead of ground beef has had awesome results in my household, just cut back on seasonings. My mother likes to put this into a crockpot to cook while she makes dinner.

Steps

In a small saute pan , saute jalapeo until softened.

In a large pot , heat cheese and milk on medium-low heat , stirring constantly.

Once cheese is melted , slowly mix in salsa , jalapeo , green chilies and ground beef.

Mix in seasonings.

Enjoy with chips.

I usually use a slice of fresh lime to spice up the chips a little.

Try it on one chip to make sure you like it.

If you are making it in the crockpot , just through it all in and stir occasionally.

Cook on low.
