Notes
Substitutions
- Monterey Jack Cheese - sharp cheddar or pepper jack also work well
- Chopped Green Chilies - substitute fresh if you prefer
- Diced Jalapeño Peppers - substitute fresh if you prefer, remove the stem, slice the half and remove membrane and seeds
Variations
- Add Garlic - A teaspoon of garlic powder or a tablespoon of minced garlic
- Add Corn - 1 can or 3 ears of corn (removed from the stalk
- Add Cooked Bacon or Chorizo
Tips
- Make it Less Spicy - Reduce the amount or if using fresh jalapeños, remove the membranes and seeds of the jalapeños to make it a bit less spicy. The membrane is the hottest part of the pepper. To remove it, cut the top off of the jalapeño, slice it in half longways and cut or scoop it out.
- Make Ahead - Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Serve hot.
To Store
- Room Temperature - Don't leave this dip sitting out for more than two hours before refrigerating.
- Refrigerate - Store in an airtight container up to one week refrigerated. Warm in microwave or oven to serve.
- Freezer - I don't recommend freezing this dip, as it will change the creamy consistency.
Serve With
- Tortilla Chips
- Corn Chips
