Very, very good hot chili cheese type dip! A nice change from the traditional Rotel/Velveta or canned chili and Velveta dips. It is a bit on the salty side for my taste. I also found it to be a bit thick, so added a touch milk to thin it down just a tad. All-in-all every one at work raved about it and the crock pot I had it in was empty in no time flat! The recipe was requested by many.

This is cheese dip at best. It's ok, but don't call it chili con queso.
