Great recipe! I made this for New Year's Day to serve with nachos while we watched movies. At first my teenage boys looked at it and said it's not orange-it can't be nacho dip. After coaxing to try it they said-colour doesn't matter, Mom when can you make this again! Easy to make and keeps warm over low heat on the stove for refilling the nacho bowl.

I thought that this recipe was alittle dull. It didn't have much flavor and not enough cheese for me, I followed it exact. I think Jalepenos and Pepper Jack cheese would have added that extra kick to this recipe.
