My youngest seven year old student decided she wanted to make a special dish for her daddy and his friends for the Saints/Patriots exhibition game. This is the hot appetizer she finally decided upon.

Her dip was absolutely cheesy, creamy, flavorful, spicy, thick and beyond delicious! Talk about an authentic taste of our US Route 66! Excellent work sweet baby girl! Without a doubt, your dip was adored by all! The boys couldn't get enough of it - as evidenced by the lack of any leftovers!

Feel free to add to her forgiving recipe as you choose to. For instance, sweet kernel corn, shreaded rotisserie chicken or hamburger are all great culinary additions.

Know this recipe, all photos and directions were submitted and posted solely by Chloés crazy adventourous imagination. And of course, her sticky little cheesy fingers!

Serve piping hot dip with warm, salty, sturdy tortilla chips and ice cold Mexican beer to the side. Enjoy!

    I worked for a travel business that loved having themed pot-luck parties throughout the year. I wound up being one of the last ones to sign up for a Mexican-themed Christmas Party. The only 2 categories left were desserts and appetizers. I so was not going to do desserts for 100+ people! So I came up with this queso dip using pantry items and fresh sausage. I brought in 2 old Tupperware Fix-n-Mix bowls of tortilla chips and a double batch of queso, one with green chilies and one with jalapeños. They scraped both slow-cookers clean and there wasn't a single tortilla crumb left in either bowl! Recipe is: © 2002-2022, Sheryl Ann Umstead-Kelly, All rights reserved.
