This is my jazzed up version of classic queso dip taken to a heartier level, perfect for football games, tailgating or for taking along to pot lucks in a slow cooker!

The heat can be turned up or down with the addition of jalapenos to taste.

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it.

I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.
