QUESO DIP WITH CRAWFISH (SPICY)

Steps:

• ~Iused my crockpot for this~.
• Cube the cheese to make melting easier.
• Cut the end off each pepper and push the seeds out with the flat portion of a knife then dice finely.
• If crawfish meat portions are too large, cut into smaller pieces.
• Put all ingredients into crockpot including the adobe sauce from your peppers, stir frequently to allow all to melt and blend.
• I served with multi colored tortilla chips.
• The chipotle pepper is very spicy so you may want to omit the chili powder or cut back on the number of peppers if you do not like it spicy.
• *Thestore brand of Velveta works very well and the crawfish amount is just over a cup and I am sure you can use fresh as well.
• This is also easy to make in the microwave but making it in a crockpot you can serve it in it as well keeping the dip warm.
