Green Chilies Queso

Submitted by TXOLDHAM

"We love this Queso! Recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, "The Texas Experience." Especially good to make ahead and freeze in small amounts or in large amount for a party. You can keep warm in a small crockpot. I would think you could add sausage or ground beef although we eat it without added meat. I am guessing on number of servings and time to make as I have never paid attention when I have made this."

This is the best Queso recipe I have ever tried! Our family could not get enough of it. We used the variation of Rotel instead of canned tomatoes and it was delicious. Thank you txoldham for this new favorite!
