11 oz Cheese soup (one can
-of condensed soup)
4 oz Green chilies, chopped
-(I use Old El Paso
-canned chilies)
1 md Yellow onion, chopped
1 T Red pepper, crushed
2 T Chili powder
1 T Cumin
1 Garlic clove, crushed
1/4 t Hot sauce (Tabasco sauce
-or hot pepper sauce)
8 oz Sour cream
Mix together all ingredients except the sour cream; heat to boiling at low
heat. When blended, correct seasoning (usually needs more cumin and
garlic.) Add sour cream and heat until it bubbles slightly. Serve with
Tostitos or any natural Mexican-style corn chip.
NOTES:
* A hot spicy party cheese dip -- Here it is, folks! By popular demand,
the cheese dip known to make women faint, strong men cry, and small
children run for their mommies. This started out as an attempt to replicate
a Chili con Queso dip, but took off in its own direction. Yield: makes 18
oz of dip.
* This recipe may be doubled, quadruped or even sextupled without problem.
Go easy on the red pepper if your guests don't like hot food. The effect,
if done correctly, should be an initial impression of cheese, cumin, sour
cream and garlic followed a second later by a sinus-cleaning heat. As one
partaker has put it "You have to keep eating because if you don't, you'll
die." Guaranteed to increase beer consumption at parties.
Good Luck!
: Difficulty: very easy.
: Time: 10 minutes.
: Precision: Measure the spices, just so you'll know how much you have put
in.
