We really loved the flavor of this dip and it was very easy to make. The texture could have been a little smoother, but that may be due to the cheese we used. Overall, a really delicious dip that we will definitely make again.

Chef, you weren't the only one that this recipe didn't work for, and I DO cook. I'm not sure what everyone else considers to be a "good" dip, but I ended up with a bunch of semi-melted cheese with half and half floating on top. Nothing like anything I've ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. I managed to salvage mine by going back to what I know which was a Bechemel Sauce. I poured off the cream that was floating on top into a 2 cup meauring cup and then added enough half and half to make 2 cups. I took the clump of cheese that was left and cut that into small pieces. next I made a Roux by melting 1/4 of butter and then adding 1/4 cup of flour whisking constantly until it no longer had a "floury" taste. I added a little half and half to incorporate and then added the rest of the half and half, whisking constantly. Once the mixture began to thicken, I mixed in the chilies, 1 teaspoon of cumin (which I will leave out in the future) and a few dashes of hot sauce. I turned off the heat (this is important do not do the next step with the heat on) and added the chopped cheese from the mess I had before and continued to whisk until it was incorporated. Turned out to be a nice creamy cheese sauce that can be reheated in a double boiler.

It was very fast and easy to make. The cumin flavor overpowered the dip. I will make it again but I will cut the cumin down to 1/2 - 1 teaspoon.

I used monterey jack cheese and it was 'ok'. However when it cooled down some I re-warmed it up and it SEPERATED! Everyone at the party said OH you used monterey jack cheese. NEVER use MONTJACK it always does that. ONLY use asadero or landolakes white american cheese. I was embarassed that I was not more informed in this recipe

This was very good. I added a few jalapeno peppers, instead of the serrano peppers. I did not use a double boiler, just melted slowly on the stovetop. The cheese melted and combined very well with the other ingredients. We used it with tortilla chips. The only problem we had was as the dip cooled slightly, it tended to separate and clump up. I don't know what caused this, but it did not affect the taste. Next time, I will blend it as one of the other reviewers did. This will be wonderful over other mexican foods! Thanks 1Steve!

This was really good. I wanted to pour it over my chimichangas and wanted it to be really smooth, so I whizzed it through the blender. It came out smooth and very white! I dont know how that happened! LOL I used slightly less green chilies as my chimichangas have 2 cans of green chilies in them already, but other than that made it to the t Thanks!!

This was such a refreshing change from the velveeta dip. I added an 8 oz. can of diced tomatoes...we just like tomatoes. Will make again and again!

My husband said "It was better than any queso I've ever had in a restaurant." Our guests loved it too. I used Asadero cheese(I'd never used it before and it was delicious), forgot the cumin (not deliberately), and sprinkled crumbled chorizo sausage on top. It was very yummy! I'm sure I will use the recipe repeatedly during football season... Go Jaguars!

This was easy to make. But I found the amount of cumin called for to be overwhelming. So as a suggestion add about half the amount shown and then add to taste from there. I realize this is a matter of personal taste, which is why I only commented and didn't rate it. Because other than that I liked it.
