Momma’s Munchies – Queso Dip

by kristas on June 14, 2010

Someone once told me that in every relationship it’s never 50/50.  At any given point, one person is giving more to the relationship that the other.  At best?  It’s 60/40.   And the key to successful relationships is that the pendulum sways so it’s not the same person always giving a little more. 

Now, I don’t know if that’s true in love and marriage.  But, I should start this Momma’s Munchies thing by saying that it is going to be one of those kind of relationships where I get more than give.  I promise you.  It will be more to my advantage to visit all your sites and snag your recipes than it will be for you to visit mine. 

 

But in the interest of fair play, I promise to give you a few of my favorite recipes every Monday. 

Today’s recipe is one of my favorite dips.  It was handed down to me from a friend who had one of those “how to make restaurant dishes at home” cookbooks… or maybe she found it on the Internet.  I dunno.  But it’s super easy and tastes almost exactly like the Queso Dip from Chili’s.  The biggest difference is that it’s not being served to you by a college waiter who asks you if you want another Margarita. 

I make this for football parties, picnics and when I just want to be nice to Craig.  Enjoy! 

(Almost) Chili’s Queso Dip

16oz Velveeta cheese
15oz Hormel Chili without beans
4tsp Chili powder
2tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayanne pepper
1/2 tsp Cumin
1C Milk
1 TBS Lime juice
 
Stir it all together over medium low – medium heat until the cheese melts and it gets warm. 

Transfer it to small crock pot or serving dish and serve with chips.
