DELICIOUS!! It had just the right amount of spices & peppers to give the dip a kick without making you run for a glass of milk. I used my homemade salsa & will strain it next time as I found the bottom layer had too much liquid. I would also leave the cheeses unmelted. Thanx Evelyn! -
I've made this a dozen times and we just love it! I think every recipe should be made the first time exactly as submited, and I wouldn't change a thing. I must confess though I've made it with Tex Mex cheese blend because that is what I had on hand, and it was really good as well. Thanks for sharing this one!! -
I have no idea what went wrong with this, but made it to take to Mom's on Christmas day. I started smelling something and kept asking my 25 year old son, if he smelled anything. We kept looking and then found out it was the dip! Had to pitch it and believe me, with all the ingredients, it was an expensive experiment. I'm sorry! I don't know what happened, followed the recipe to a "T" (except adding an extra clove of garlic). I don't know if I will be brave enough to try it again, or not.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
