This type of melted cheese dip is always a hit at parties. This recipe looks very flavorful
An appetizer found at many Tex-Mex restaurants (this is not made with Rotel, which is yummy) that is served with tortilla chips, and usually a house salsa, too.
I also use this as a sauce on enchiladas, cheesesteak sandwiches, and in casseroles.
