    I like that it didn't get that cheese-skin that quesos often have, but there was something missing that I just couldn't put my finger on. I made the recipe as directed. Maybe next time I'll double the veggies & saute them before I add them to the cheese.

    Mmmm! Delicious. Definitely will be making this again!! i used white cheddar instead of american so next time im going to use heavy cream instead of the milk to make it creamier. Also, like others said, i am going to cook the veggies before hand.

    This was a huge hit at the 4th of July gathering! I doubled the recipe and there was only about a cup of cheese left at the end of the day that people were arguing over. You definitely need to cook the veg ahead and I added chipotle powder to add a bit more depth of flavor.
