We thought this queso was VERY good. I'm trying to duplicate Uncle Julio's cheese dip actually. This is far superior to Rotel and Velveeta. I used Hatch hot chilies in the can, and Trader Joe's minced garlic out of the jar which I won't do again - will use fresh garlic next time. Next time I'll regular chop half the onions and mince the other half. One large tomato was perfect. I added at least a cup of milk - it was very thick. We will be making again and again.<br/><br/>Just made again. Used double boiler this time - makes all the difference. Using fresh garlic was a game changer too.

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
