Mexican restaurant copycat version of cheese dip:
This was the recipe...
-1 pound of white american cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of milk
- jar of jalepenos
Instructions:
- in a double boiler, heat the milk and slowly add the cheese until melted well
- add the jalepenos to taste and a little juice from the jar
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
My kids aren't into the hot stuff so I used a block of Monterey Jack. The spices that are in the cheese made it spicy enough that it tasted close.
I didn't use the double boiler method because that's just more dishes to wash. lol
I put it in a glass container and have it cooling in the fridge to use later :-) It passed the taste test with the kids when it was warm.
TTFN!

My HomeMade Salsa Recipe
My salsa recipe is pretty simple. Anything I make is simple, or I don't make it.
It is pretty much a "dump" recipe. Which means you just dump the stuff together and you are done.
I don't have specific measurements because a recipe like salsa has to appeal to you.
My ingredients are:
- fresh cilantro
- can of stewed tomatoes
- jalepenos (in a jar)
- salt and pepper
- garlic powder
- sliced fresh tomatoes
- ground cumin
- vidalia onions
I start by putting the sliced tomatoes and the can of stewed tomatoes in the food processor. Add each ingredient one at a time until you get the taste you want.
Puree the stuffing out of it and put it in a container overnight in the fridge. The flavors will blend together and taste even better the next day.
I use the salsa with chips, on quesadillas, on tacos..etc.
Hubby actually likes to use the salsa on his breakfast burritos. That's a recipe for another time!
Leave a comment and let me know what you like in your salsa!
