"I made this recipe for a huge reception (1000 people)last weekend and it was a big hit. I got several requests for the recipe. I made a few modifications. 1)I completely omitted the milk. It didn't ne..." See moreed it. 2)I added some Rotel Extra Hot tomatoes to add a little kick. 3) I used "mexican blend) cheese instead of Monterey Jack. This is a quick easy recipe that is easy to scale for large crowds."

"This is a very tasty and easy to prepare recipe! I have made it several times and everyone always loves it. The first time I made it, I included the evaporated milk per the recipe. The consistency was..." See more a little "soupy", so the next time I omitted the milk. Without it, the dip was much easier to scoop up with tortilla chips and I actually think it had more flavor. This is definitely a recipe that has been added to my list of favorites."

"This recipe is one we make quite often at my place, although with a few changes! I use cheddar cheese instead of the jack, and half and half cream instead of the evaporated. Be sure to use hot salsa..." See more and let it get nice and bubbley hot in the oven!"
