Carlos Okellys Chile Con Queso Recipe 395

CARLOS O'KELLY'S CHILE CON QUESO

Steps:

• The official recipe also calls for 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt, but everyone in my household likes it much better without; I recommend making it without first, tasting it, and then go ahead and add salt and/or garlic if you feel like it needs it then. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot or non-stick 2-quart saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring often, until melted and smooth. Dip will thicken greatly when cooled.
