Chile con Queso

Sue Lau's Note:

The chipotle chiles in this will give a nice flavor that you will positively love! If you like a milder queso you can omit the chiles and still have a tasty dip. :)

Wow Sue L, now this is some queso. We only used 1 chipotle because I guess we are a little on the whimpy side. Great spicy flavor. My husband and I both voted it 5-stars and we can't wait to serve this at out next party. Thanks.

I made this for a party I was hosting. I had never used chipolte chiles before (I searched & searched for chipoltle chiles in a can,couldnt find them so bought the chipolte peppers--I guess there the same??)Anyways, the dip was very good, and people who enjoy spicy things really liked it. I wish I would have know how spicy it was, I would have warned people...several people said it was too spicy for them. I LOVE spicy food, so thought it was great, will make again!Thanks for sharing.
